This cake is wonderful! I made it for my sisters birthday and it looked and tasted fantastic. The recipe is easy and the baking time accurate. The icing was smooth and perfect.
Wow! Everyone loved this cake! I doubled the coconut and pineapple, left out the pecans (cuz I didn’t have any on hand) and Wahlaaaahhhh. Moist, tasty, rich. I made a cream cheese flavored with real rum frosting and yummy!
I have been cooking for over 40 years and have plenty of experience baking. This is one of the best cake recipes that I have ever tried.
This is the best cake I have ever made. It was delicious! I love this cake. Unlike other cakes this one tastes better the older it get’s. I have no problem with making it a few days before I need it other than it being devoured.
This is the best cake I have ever made. It was delicious! I brought it to work and got compliments on it all day long. It actually tastes like those cakes you buy in expensive bakeries!
