The cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the glaze was delicious. I think I would have preferred a lighter cake with a stronger coconut flavor.

The cake was easy to make and turned out great! The glaze was a bit too tart for my taste, so I added a little sugar to balance it out.

The cake was a bit dry, but the glaze helped to add some moisture. The flavors were good, but I think I would have preferred a stronger coconut flavor.
