This cake is fabulous! I made it as directed including the butter glaze another reviewer mentioned (with the exception of the coconut as I didn’t have any on hand).

My daughters made this for my birthday…and I must say it was one of the BEST cakes (moist!) I have EVER eaten! It is so unusual and soooo good! You’ll have absolute raves with this one!

This cake is great. I had the recipe and lost it while relocating to another state. There was a butter sauce with coconut that is poured over this cake and it makes it heavenly
