This is truly an award winning recipe. I made this and won second place in a baking contest. I only made a minor change. I reserved about 3/4 cup of the coconut and toasted it and put it on the top. I also put extra toasted almond on the top as a garnishment. It is soooo good. I would also recommend poking holes all around the cake to let the sweet mixture seep in. That sent it over the edge in yumminess!! -
Made this for my dad. Left out the nuts as he is a Mounds(sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't) fan. Everyone loved it!! Will make it again for sure.
