This recipe is a disaster! The cake was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The cake was a bit dry, but the frosting was delicious. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the texture was perfect. I think I'll try it again with a different frosting recipe.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The cake was moist and fluffy, and the coconut flavor was subtle but still noticeable. I would definitely make this cake again.
