  1. Oh my goodness, this cake was way too yummy! Made it for Easter and everyone loved it. (Did use fat free sour cream and lite cool whip though)
     
  2. I love this cake! So did my whole family. I made it for Christmas and it was devoured. I actually got the recipe from a family friend. I added more Cool Whip bc I'm not a huge fan of sour cream. Delicious!
     
  3. I made this cake for my Mom's birthday. It was so good it took my breath away and hers! Wow! AMAZING cake! I didn't have a white cake mix, so I used a coconut flavored one. It still turned out fabulous!
     
  4. I love this cake. My mom used to make it when I was little, and it seemed like we had to wait forever to enjoy a piece. But it was always worth the wait, and it has been a favorite since. I pretty much knew what went into it, but couldn't remember the recipe for sure, so THANKS! for putting it on here. If you like coconut, you will love this cake.
     
  5. I am posting this review per my mother...it was the best coconut cake ever! I didn't actually get to try it, I was too full after Thanksgiving dinner. But my mom and sister have raved about it ever since.

I live in the beautiful state of South Carolina and have lived here all of my life.I am a police officer and I work in a mid-sized city which comes along with big city stress, so to relieve this stress I took up gardening. I now have an absolutely gorgeous garden with approxamately 30 different kinds of fruits and veggies and it has become my passion. I have always enjoyed cooking but now I can experiment all of the time with the foods I've grown!
