This is one of my favorite cakes. The first time I made it, I also had a problem with the topping getting stuck in the pan. What I do now, is to line the bottom of the pan with foil, allowing some overhang at the two ends, and grease the foil well. Then just gently peel the foil off after turning the cake upside down.

Hubby said this was the best chocolate cake he's had and he doesn't even like coconut. It was just so tender and moist. Not overly sweet like I worried about after seeing the ingredients. I did add one tsp. of vanilla nut extract (Watkins brand) to the water, butter, sugar mixture after taking if off the heat. I forgot to grease the pan, but still turned out. I just had to scrape some of the gooey stuff up and then spread on the cake. It looked fine and had a great taste. We love this one.
