    This has got to be the MOST BLAH desert I have ever almost-made!!! I stopped when stacking the cake. The filling was so bad I scraped it off, added lemon curd and my own buttercream recipe!!!!! What an almost-disaster on Father's Day! I will NEVER bother with a Bobby Flay recipe again. This was a waste of hours!! DON'T BOTHER! I hated leaving even one star-eliminate this recipe!!

    Just Amazing!!! this recipe is not for the first time baker, it does involve many different steps. After reading reviews i did prepare this in 3 days in advance. I made coconut syrup and roasted the coconut 2 days prior to the big day. I did not follow the butter cream recipe because its an error i used 2 cups sugar with 2 butter sticks. Made few changes added coconut extract and lemon zest, lemon flavoring was a hit!

    FABULOUS! I didn't make the cake but borrowed the custard to make my version of Coconut Cupcakes for a party. Thank you! Oh additional information on the Custard I made it bavarian style omited the cornstarch force cooling the custard in a water bath then added sheet gelatin and lightened it with whipped cream adding a little coconut extract!

    Unbelievably good! Cake is not my favorite dessert, but I wanted to eat the whole thing! Light, not too sweet. Just delicious!

    I LOVE this cake! I have made it several times and always have to adjust the buttercream proportions according to the humidity, etc. Before tackling this however I would warn you to make it in steps. This is a 3 day cake for me. I make the custard on day one along w/simple syrup and keep in frig overnight. Day two, bake the cake-toast the coconut. Day three, make buttercream, frost, and coat w/coconut. It's easier if made a little at a time and worth every bite.

    the cake and custard recipe was great but the there's a typo with the butter frosting , 3 sticks butter and 3/4 cup of powered sugar. that isn't right, make sure you look at a better frosting recipe other then that it was an awesome cake

    This coconut cake is the very best I, and for those whom I have prepared it for have ever tasted. It does take some time to prepare, but it is worth every moment of your effort. Keep up the great work Bobby!

    I do a ton of baking. This is the BEST Coconut Cake EVER...WITH ALTERATIONS! I followed the recipe EXACTLY..except I added Coconut extract to custard, cake, and frosting to bump up the Coconut flavor. I also whipped the whipping cream BEFORE adding it to the custard to give it more substance. As for the butter cream frosting... I KNEW after reading it there MUST be a typo with the recipe. I made my own Buttercream using only 1 stick of butter, 4-5 cups of confect. sugar, and the custard! RAVE REVIEWS from the WHOLE FAMILY! WILL DEF MAKE AGAIN! THANK YOU! :

    Wow, this was a lot of steps! Better the second day to me. It wasn't too sweet, which was great. It was good but not great. I don't think I will make it again because of all the steps. You need to make this cake with a friend to share the steps!
