DO NOT MAKE THIS CAKE!!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This is by far, the most disgusting recipe i've ever made. It ended up tasting like popcorn while the texture was like oily... mush. I should have known this was a crap recipe when it called for a full cup of oil, and 4 cups of sugar. Disgusting. Don't waste your ingredients on this cake. Really. Read more

The cake is ok, too much oil in the recipe. I only used 1/2 cup instead of the 1 cup and it was still too oily. Cake would... probably be better if oil was omitted--there is enough other ingredients to keep it moist.Read more

I made this for a vegan friend with low expectations. It turned out really very good. I did use real butter in the icing... though. (she said it was okay!)Read more

Good and moist!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

For a vegan cake, very good! Moist and flavorful, though a bit dense. I'm not fond of the icing recipe - too rich and not... very "coconutty." I added shredded coconut between layers and on top, which added to the flavor and texture. Next time, I will add Coco Lopez to the icing instead of coconut milk.Read more

Not good

This recipe just didn't work at all. The flavor and texture were terrible.
