This cake is awesome. Very simple and refreshing. Nice change from the usual cakes. I bring this to work and it's gone by 7:30 am! I tried cheesecake flavored pudding last time and it was great. Also, I recommend toasting the coconut for the top. -
Thanks for posting a great, classic BTS cake!!! The only thing I changed was I mixed some white sugar with some brown sugar. 1/4 cup of each. And I rinsed some halfed maraschino cherried and then put them on top of whipped topping. Again, great choice!!!

I made this for my grandparents anneversary, because my grandma requested it. Everybody loved it. The only thing i changed was I made a homemade yellow cake,http://www.recipezaar.com/14378 Thanks for the recipe. -
Good recipe. I have used this for years. My recipe calls for a 17.5 ounce canned vanilla pudding. -
I've made this cake for about 10 years now and never fail to get raves...What I like about it is the variety of flavors and textures....I made Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake for my family this weekend from a new recipe that had beaucoup stars and reviews...but they weren't impressed and wanted me to go back to the Better Than Sex Cake, even though they don't know the real name of it. Also, it is much tastier when you toast the coconut before you sprinkle it on top.

I would like to let you all know that I am no longer able to review your recipes that I have tried. since they changed the site around webtv does not supprt zaars new site.I have a webtv not a computer and webtv does not support the new recipezaar site.

I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6
grand and glorious grandchildren.
I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby
My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby.
My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands.
He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
