The cake had amazing coconut flavor..but was really really dense. Read over the ingredients for the icing and opted instead for going with a coconut cream mousse. The frosting would have been way to rich and sweet for how dense and sweet this cake was on its own, which is good if someone likes very very sweet desserts. I'm more of a cream and hint of sweet kind a girl : Not hard to make..but time consuming.

Amazing, followed the cake recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. Tender, moist and very flavorful. Not a fan of seven minute icing but Italian buttercream with Rum works very well also.

This cake was wonderful the first time I made it but the cake was a little firm, I was in California at the time, and it was dry, I am in texas now and it is humid, I am making this cake again over the next week, I will let everyone no how it turns out.
Oh also white rum works the best for the coconut extract, and skip the vanilla just add more of your homemade coconut rum extract.
Cooking is a form of chemistry, and in chemistry one cannot ignore even the slightest changes in temperature, atmospheric pressure and measurements.

The flavor was spot on! The cake consistency was hard, dense and chewy. The frosting hardened up over time and was not creamy smooth. The sugar granules do not dissolve in the frosting.
I bake on a regular basis and followed this recipe exactly. I did not overbeat the batter but the cake did not rise. Due to the thinness if the cake I could not cut each round in half. I baked it slightly less than 40 minutes and it still came out dry and hard.
The frosting flavor was good but it also dried and hardened up after putting it in the refrigerator.
I will take the flavorings from this recipe and make into my own lighter, fluffier more traditional cake like coconut cake. I may try to make the frosting with confectioners / powdered sugar next time as well to eliminate the “crunchy” sugar.
Overall, a great flavor but less than desired cake (too dense and dry and frosting consistency (crunchy sugar in the frosting.

I made this cake last Easter and when it was served, I blinked and it was gone. I'm gong to hit it with a little rum next time.

Love this recipe! This is the second time i am making this cake - as far as being dry DO NOT OVERMIX! that will certainly make your cake to dry. I had no problems at all with the cake being dry - especially when you spritz with coconut water. Best coconut cake ever!
