Ymmmm This is a great recipe if you love coconut and lime. The lime gives it a fresh citrus flavor that melts in your mouth. A few changes though. You need to cook the cake much longer than it says. I live at 5,000 ft. altitude and had to cook if for about 40 min. So I would suggest you cook it for 25-35 min. depending upon your altitude. Check by inserting a toothpick in center. Also I did add 1/2 C coconut oil to the cake batter to help make it more moist (I melted it and I added lemon extract. For the Frosting I added a package of cream cheese because I love cream cheese frosting. Also once you add the whipped topping to the frosting it softens the lime in it to a more mild flavor that is quite good. The cake is quite dense and thick so plan on having very small slices. It can serve quite a large crowd of people so it can be great for a large party. It is like having a coconut key lime cake. The Frosting was wonderful. It is very good.

Made this cake a second time and the timing was spot on...The only thing I can think of that I did different is I had my daughter helping me...she beat the egg whites alot stiffer then I did the first time Even better this time!

Mistake in the time for baking. I had to bake the cakes for 33 min.
The cake otherwise was wonderful!

I agree with the other review. The cake is extremely dense and moist. I baked mine for 28-29 minutes and the consistency was wet. Very disappointed!!!

I couldn't wait to make this cake when I saw her make it on one of her recent shows. How could it not be good with two of my favorite things....lime and coconut?! It was a disappointment, even though it was beautiful. The consistency of the cake was very wet and compact. (I baked mine for 26-27 minutes, until it tested done....not for just the 18 minutes written in the recipe. We each tried it, and then I threw it away. I think the amount of butter, plus both coconut milk and buttermilk contributed to it being very wet. I usually love Paula's recipes, but something doesn't seem quite right with this one.....

Perfect summer dessert!!! I made this for a bbq this past weekend and it was a hit. Instead of making into a cake, I made cupcakes. Used lime slices and raspberries to top off each cupcake. What a beautiful presentation........ (The cake is so good that I kept several of them without icing
