Being a lover of coconut, I've got to give this a try. But I'll have to freeze part of it or share with some neighbor/friend as my hubby won't anything but chocolate cake and angel food. He really doesn't know what he is missing by being such a picky eater.

I was so excited to make this recipe, because I love coconut, as well as instant coconut pudding. I made the cake as directed, only substituting the evaporated milk in place of the water, as some other people suggested. I am very disappointed in this cake. It turned out dry and tasteless. It doesn't taste like coconut at all. Nobody in my house will touch it, so now I have a cake I am going to have to throw out.

I just made this cake using french vanilla pudding mix instead of the coconut pudding mix and also used 1 cup of evaporated milk instead of the water called for~I also toasted the coconut before adding it to the mix~ It is awesome!

I baked this Cake on July 4th 2010. It was easy to to make. At first I couldn't find the pudding, After going to 3 stores I finally found it. I did add coconut extract and used powered sugar for the frosting. ( only because I forgot the frosting called for in the recipe) I made the frosting as directed on the box and I have to say it was great!. Again the cake was blast. I only took a small piece home with me. I wish I had taken more! It was even better the next day. I will add this to my favorites.
