    We were away for Thanksgiving weekend, but my birthday fell on the next Monday, so I needed something quick and easy but delicious. This absolutely fit the bill. I topped with the coconut glaze from the book and some additional shredded coconut, and I love it.

    Delicious cake and easy to make! I doubled the recipe to make a 10-cup Bundt cake. I added the coconut glaze in the cookbook. I’ll definitely make this again!

    Wow, what a great cake. Really easy to make (mix everything in one bowl, no need to soften the butter), and results in a light, very flavorful, buttery coconut cake. Recipe makes for 1 layer which is perfect for an afternoon cake. Can double or triple for a layer cake, this base will be amazing in a layer cake.

    Moist and tasty. Used sweetened coconut; sprinkled with powdered sugar.

    Delivers on promised simple cake. No mixer needed, just a wooden spoon. Topped with half a recipe of the Coconut glaze from the same book. Since I was pressed on time I could not wait for the cake to cool completely before adding the glaze. Delicious!
