I actually haven't tried this recipe yet, but I had a suggestion. Instead of using coconut milk to add to the cake mix, use coconut flavor. I did a cake similar at Thanksgiving and it was wonderful. Taste just like coconut, without the coconut flakes which I don't like. Good Luck to you all.

Delicious! The pudding wasn't available, so I used a can of COCONUT MILK (not coconut cream for cocktails!) instead of the water and oil. I also toasted the coconut flakes before stirring into the cake. My husband made a glaze by cooking coconut milk with sugar until it thickened a bit, then poking holes in the cake and drizzled it over. Extremely moist, delicate coconut flavor!

This cake will taste much better if you add: 1/2 cups canola oil and 1 1/2 cups of water when using the Coconut instant pudding. If you do not wish to use the Coconut instant pudding; add 1 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of canola oil. My cake was very moist and taste delicious. Wal-Mart sells the Instant Coconut cream Pudding.

Shopped 3 different merchants before finding pudding. Made exactly by recipe. Too dry.
