"Found this recipe on the back of a McCormick Coconut Extract Box. This cake is so moist and everybody loves this cake. I have added shredded coconut on the top of the cake and it is marvelous! But I love coconut."

VERY easy to make and quite delicious. I used a Betty Crocker Butter Recipe cake mix and followed the recipe as written. Baboo said he thought the cake was lovely and light. We didn't have any issue with its appearance at all. I'm adding it to our permanent repertoire! :-)

I love this cake but make it even better by using the drained crushed pineapple juice instead of water in the cake and then sprinkle the top with flake coconut to keep cool whip from sticking to my cake pan lid

I've made the before off the same thing for my birthday party and it was a huge hit! despite the fact that it may not look that apetizing, it's amazing!
