    Tender white cake with great filling, good icing and great taste. Yes, this takes time and some know how to successfully make. For instance, the custard needs to be stirred while cooling to release the steam to prevent it from becoming runny, but I liked the texture of this white cake so much more than my other recipes that I am going to use the 'cold butter added to dry ingredients' for all to see if I get the same tender crumb.

    This cake was very popular at my moms birthday party. I used 1 1/2 t. coconut flavoring in place of the rum and I added 1 cup of powdered sugar to the butter cream to make it taste better. People who usually don't like coconut cake liked this one. It was worth all of the extra effort!

    I have to say, when I read the reviews that said this recipe was terrible and that they "followed the recipe exactly"...well, they just couldn't have followed it exactly. They made a mistake somewhere. I only cheated on the cake and made a box mix. But everything else was made following the instructions and it came out perfectly. I would have liked more coconut flavor (but that's just my personal taste...it had a good coconut flavor and I couldn't taste the rum in the filling but this was a really delicious cake! One thing to emphasize ~ When you're making the filling, make sure EVERYTHING is very very cold, including the mixing bowl and beaters. This will help the filling to set better. And keep it refrigerated until you're ready to put it on the cake.

    Best coconut cake I've ever had - works really well to cut up the cake into squares and make a layered cake in the glass as well!

    This cake is so decadent and very delicious! The cake is very delicate and the filling and frosting are sinful. The cake takes a while to make and has multiple steps but is worth it. This has become an overall family favorite.

    Note: The recipe is correct. It’s a very buttery as opposed to sweet buttercream, and the coconut custard, which also has some sugar, gets beaten into the buttercream to make it a buttery, custard-like frosting. Hope this helps clarify.

    While the cake and custard filling were moist and delicious, the buttercream was extremely disappointing and tasted more like pure butter than a sweet buttercream icing. Followed directions exactly...instinctively knew the amount of confectioners sugar seemed inadequate, but was intimadated in altering Chef Flay's recipe - should have as 1/3 cup is not enough to sweeten 3 sticks of butter! Also purchased Malibu rum to make this recipe...personally don't believe that this is even needed...just promoting Malibu rum. Recipe is costly and time consuming for the results if followed precisely. Will make again, using my own buttercream icing. Chef Flay needs to review the recipe amounts as I cannot believe this is the buttercream recipe that beat Chef Carter in the throwdown!!!!

    AWESOME! This was so delicious. Not too overpowering that you get a hint of coconut throughout the cake. The cake recipe is now my go to recipe. Very light and holds the syrup well. I'm so glad I finally had the chance to make this cake. I wish I can have this cake every week but I know I should only prepare it on special occasion. I followed the instruction to a T except for the frosting. I followed the suggestion of preparing the custard and syrup one day before assembly. I also found that I had to bake the for 30 minutes. In the buttercream frosting I added 1 package of cream cheese and used 1 stick of butter and 1/2 to 1 cup of powdered sugar. Other than that it was wonderful. Simply delicious! Thanks Bobby.
