This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a different one next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out very well. The frosting was too runny and the cake was too dense.

I found this cake to be a bit dry. I think I might try adding a little more milk or buttermilk to the batter next time.

I'm not a fan of coconut, but I still loved this cake. The frosting is so rich and creamy that it makes up for the coconut flavor.
