This cake was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more milk or buttermilk to the batter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The coconut flavor was subtle and complemented the other flavors in the cake perfectly.

This picnic cake was a huge hit at our family gathering! It was incredibly moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.
