    I've made this recipe a couple of times and I have the same results each time~~total happiness all around. I takes a while if you are doing this from scratch but it is unbelievably worth it!

    This was just wonderful. I bought coconuts (for the first time made the coconut cream and the coconut milk and used the 7 minute frosting. All I can say is WOW. the cake did take me two days to make but it was well worth the effort. I did not beat the egg white to soft peaks I just dumped the in (I forgot and my 10 year old was helping at the time.She like to seperate eggs. It still turned out great.

    This coconut cake is the best coconut cake I've ever had. The textures are really awesome. When I read the ingredients for the frosting, I knew I wouldn't like it because of the egg whites. So I made a simple whipped cream with 8 oz of mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ad 2 cups of heavycream and then just whisk on high speed. This is a much better. No need to add coconut extract to the whipped cream! You already get a lot f freh coconut taste from the cake and shredded coconut! But this cake recipe is truly the best!

    FANTASTIC!! One of the best cakes I have ever had! Made this for a birthday, and everyone loved it! Would recommend to everyone, definently not too sweet; just right! Definently go the extra mile to make the homemade extract, cream, and milk; it is certainly worth the time!

    Made this cake for my co-workers quite a while back, but I am still hearing about. They all said it was the best cake I've ever made (and I've made a lot. It was a bit time consuming peeling the coconut, though.

    This cake is fantastic! It is time consuming, & not inexpensive, but it's truly delicious. Dense & sweet, coconut flavored heaven! I followed the cake recipe as listed, but opted for a coconut cream frosting recipe found elsewhere. Some complained it was too sweet, but it's a sweet cake people, that's what it is!!

    My wife likes to call this the “two day cake” as it seems to take me two days to make. I’m certainly not a baker and that is probably why it takes me so long but I just love this cake. I have made it over and over again with great results and kudos to Alton. Wife, kids, mother, father, brother, sister, cousins can’t get enough. I can’t stand cakes that are “light and fluffy” and retain all of their flavor in the frosting. What’s the point of that? This certainly isn’t the problem here!

    This is a dense cake with plenty of sweet coconut flavor. If you are afraid of sweet and flavorful cakes then you might want to stray away from the receipt. I will say that I cannot get the frosting to “turn out right”. So, I use the frosting listed as the layering component. I then use a separate fluffy white frosting receipt (here on Food Network to actually frost the cake.

    Thanks Alton for another out-o-the-park receipt!

    Disgustingly sweet! I love to eat cake but never made a layered one before. Everything seemed to work fine and the texture was great too, but all my dinner guests agreed it was inedible sweet! Gonna retry with less sugar although I'm afraid it might change the texture.

    This recipe should be checked, there is NO WAY that it calls for 16 oz. of sugar and only 8 oz. of butter. I made the cake according to these measurements, even weighing the ingredients, which is how bakers measure and it came out very, very sweet. My husband liked it anyway but I couldn't eat more than a couple of bites.
