If you avoid baking coconut cake because you think it's too involved, then you're in for a pleasant suprprise. This version features convenient cake mix as the main ingredient, but tastes just like it's made from scratch. We gave it our highest rating.
Deliciously rich! As previous reviewer stated, it taste "made-from-scratch." I thought adding the cream of coconut would make it too sweet, but it wasn't. No one will know it wasn't made from scratch if you don't tell:)
Read MoreDelicious and very easy. It really does taste as if it was a made-from-scratch cake.

It is more than sweet enough without adding sweetened coconut, and fresh is far superior. My family has already requested that I make again (in less than a week!), and it's just as good the second time. I use about 2 cups of fresh coconut in the frosting and also sprinkle over the top of the cake for a nice look.
