Delicious and different. My father-in-law said it was possibly the best cake that he'd ever had. Very moist and flavorful. I added a splash of vanilla to the cake and another splash to the coconut topping. The topping stays syrup-like and is absorbed by the cake. I also toasted my nuts. MIL asked for some to take home. Great recipe!

So good! My boyfriend and I are still working on this cake two days later and each bite is better! For the topping, next time I'll use all brown sugar (I used half white, half brown this time) and less coconut. As other reviewers recommended, I added pecans to the cake batter and it's delicious! My cake did take a little longer to cook through in the center than I expected. It was in the oven about 40-45 minutes, but the wait was worth it! Thank you for a great recipe!

Very good. I used a pineapple box cake with one can of crushed pineapple. The icing was thin and needed to be cooled before putting on the cake. Basically, this was a pineapple cake with cocconut-pecan icing that you would put on a german chocolate cake.

Use brown sugar or 1/2 brown and 1/2 white for the topping.

I took this to work for a Mardi Gras party and it was a big hit. Next time I would try poking holes in the top before putting on the topping. It was also even better the next day, moist and tasty.

Excellent recipe! Everyone loved it, because of its texture and its presentation, I used a 10" ring mold and baked one day ahead and wrapped in plastic wrap in order to enhance the flavours. It serves perfectly well and was a hit, congrats! I planned to serve it with praline ice cream but it was not necessary.

So delicious! The cake was really sweet and tasty! Everyone raved about it! I increased the topping like others suggested, I wonder if that was even necessary though.

I didn't care much for this cake. I made it without the nuts, some people at the get together aren't able to have them for medical reasons, so maybe that was part of the problem. Oddly enough, this cake was sort of dry. It's alot like another recipe we have made, called Texas cake. I will keep the recipe and try it again, but if it's a flop again, I'll have to toss it.

I served this cake a a mardi gras party. The cake was a huge hit. The interesting this was everyone loved it, had seconds, but the men at the party went nuts over this cake. I've never had a reaction like that about a dessert.
