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!
