MMMMMMM good!! This recipe makes a moist delicious cake with a surprize inside. I left out the coconut as I did not have any on hand and it is still yummy. The only thing I would do different is when making the glaze thin it down a little more so that the glaze goes down the sides. I used only one tablespoon hot water as i didn't want the glaze to run too much and what i got was glaze that pretty much stayed put where I placed it :) on top. But that is operator error not the recipe :) One other thing that always elludes me is when mixing dry ingredients in with wet, in my haste to get it mixed I always end up with powdered something all over my kitchen. With this recipe I have a fine coat of cocoa :) Okay off to dust the kitchen to burn some calories so I can have another piece of cake :) Thank you Kit another winner!! :)shirley(: -
Fudgy yummy goodness! If you don't like coconut, then don't use it. We did not use nuts do to allergies. Because of this I put more than half of better in pan before putting in the filling. My filling sank to the bottom while baking, but it turned out good. It took closer to 1 hour 45 minutes to bake. Thank you! Another winner from Kittencal!! -
Very moist and fudgey, this cake is absolutely delicious! The filling inside is a nice surprise! I love the presentation of it and served to several family members who also thought it was wonderful! Thank you Kittencal for another great recipe! :) I made this for the Cake-A-Thon in memory of Chef-I-Am.
