I'm not sure what happened with this, but my cake never rose, and I ended up with a rather solid block that peaked a little bit on the side. I thought I had followed the directions carefully; perhaps my batch of Bisquick was not up to snuff? Anyway, what we tasted seemed very good, so I will have to try this again. I trust mikekey's review, and am looking forward to another stab at this.

Delicious! Very easy to make and really moist and flavorful. Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We love coconut and will be making this again!
