    I am really glad that I decided to make a 'trial' cake to test out this recipe first before the actual cake was needed. I had such high hopes that this cake would work out...and it was very disappointing. The cake itself tasted nothing like coconut whatsoever, despite the amount of coconut and coconut milk in the batter. The texture was all wrong too (perhaps it was all that oil?. The icing tasted exclusively like vegan margarine. I was not happy with this recipe at all, and will not ever make it again. Back to the drawing board!

    One of my dearest friends has been making me this cake for my bday for years. It's one of the best cakes I've ever had. It's rich, and moist and pure yumminess. I am going to make it soon, can't wait. If you let it sit in the fridge overnight before serving, the edges get nice and crispy and the whole thing firms up. YUM!!

    I wasted my time & energy tonight making my husband his birthday cake. It was absolutely horrible!!!! The "Vegan Coconut Cake" was the worst cake I've ever tasted and the icing was not edible!!!! Thanks a lot for helping me give my best friend a great birthday.

    You guys must have made something wrong, I think this recipe is great, and a keeper.
    It tastes like the original noudderdesserts coconut cake! I think that's where they got the recipe from cuz it even lists the same ingredients..

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
