    Agree with everything Bellatavia said...except I think it can feed more than a dozen!

    This is a delicious cake. I personally wish it was more coconutty -- if I make this again I will take her up on her suggestion of "basting" the cake in coconut flavored simple syrup to add some moisture. The cakes weren't dry but more moist wouldn't be bad. It's a dense, big cake, so this can feed A LOT of people. A dozen, methinks.
