These were delicious! I only used 1 cup of coconut and it was plenty. I added 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa to the drizzle at the end to make it a richer chocolate.

Have made this before and will make it again. It is one of my family's favorites. It never seems to be big enough!

Have had this a few times since it was up in the voting contest last summer. Always a hit with family and friends when we make it. Type of cake you just keep going back for more.

I like this cake a lot and since I usually don't like coconut, that is a big compliment. It is really moist and the chocolate sauce is the best. The other reviewer's candy bar coffee cake comment is right on.

Wasn't my thing. Flavors didn't really go well together.
