This cake is a special ocassion all by itself. It's finely textured and moist with a delicious flavor. I had to reduce the overall size of the cake so it would fit my oven, but kept all ingredients and proportions the same. I really like this cake as it is, but next time I may try using coconut extract instead of vanilla to give it a more pronounced coconut flavor. Thank you for the recipe, Bev.

I really liked the flavor of the cake, but I added 2 tsp. of coconut extract and skipped the vanilla and lemon rind ( I didn't have any lemon rind). I also had a little problem with the bake-the top was a bit underdone, but not horribly. I think I would put it into 2 loaf pans to avoid this, and to freeze one for later!

Made this today and I love it =) I had so much batter I was able to make two pound cakes! <br/><br/>It came out super moist and delicious. Great with some chocolate sauce and coconut flakes as garnish.

I found it just a tad sweet, however it is going in my "keeper file". It taste so much moister and better the next day. I did add 1 teaspoon coconut extract and 1/2 tsp. vanilla. I might just cut down a little on the sugar . My dh liked it. I will definetly make again. thanks for a great recipe.
