  • “I’m giving it 4 stars because its a version of a cake my Mom has made for ages. Fabo cake, disapears in an instant. Its sweet, but not too sweet, and is great at a picnic or BBQ. Mom’s version uses yellow cake instead of white, and adds crushed pinapple to the mix. I can’t be sure on the particulars, but if you email me I’ll send them.”

  • “One word… DELICIOUS! I added a small can of crushed before topping with Cool Whip.”

  • “This is the best pina colada cake that I have ever eaten!!!! This cake was very easy and quick to make. it would be hard to mess it up. i made this for my grandmas 70th birthday and everyone was raving about how great the cake was.”

  • “My husband loved this!I thought it was similar too half cake, half pudding – very moist.My three sons loved it too.It was so huge I gave half away to a friend.Her and her husband loved it.Keep it in the fridge.I used a a chopstick to make the holes.Be careful to pour the coconut mixture over the warm cake slowly.If your pour too fast, it just runs down the sides and you want it to go down the holes.Thanks for the recipe barefoot, I will make it for the next potluck I go to.”

  • “Delicious! Made in a bundt form and it was little drippy, but the overall result was still tantalizing.”

  • “Okay, but not great. I used only half the milk combo and it is way too sweet and almost glue like. I added the drained pineapple layer which helped, but I am going to try some other recipes as well.”

  • “I am almost 43 years old, and I have been making this cake since I was 14! It is sooo moist and scrumptious! It actually got me a marriage proposal once! (ok, so it was from someone who clearly knows I am married, but hey.. it was a nice compliment!)GREAT CAKE!”

  • “I diddled with this recipe.I put a can of crushed pineapple instead of the water into the cake mix.The cake originally tasted a little bitter coming out of the oven but the cream concoction quickly took care of that.This was a rich dessert that went over well with my family.”

  • “I made this cake for a holiday gathering, it went so fast. Everyone loved this cake. I was asked to make it again for those that weren’t there. So here I go again. It was so moist and delicous.”

  • “WOW, this recipe gets around the world. This is actually a childhood favorite of mine. My mom and aunt phyllis made this all the time when we were kids. Gotta love coconut to really enjoy this cake. I know I do. This makes a really rich moist scrumptious cake. thanks for posting. I’d give it more than 5 stars. ~V”

  • “I used a French Vanilla cake mix, and added a can of well drained crushed pineapple to the mix before baking.After pouring the coconut milk mixture over top, and letting it cool, I made a cream cheese coconut icing for the top.DELICIOUS!!!!”

  • “This is a great cake.I use a can of drained pineapple before the whipped topping.Also, I omit the coconut.”

  • “This is the EASIEST, BEST coconut cake.First of all I used a white cake mix and combined the condensed milk and coco lopez cream of coconut and poured this mixture over the warm cake.The cake was very moist and I had fights over who got the last piece.A wonderful recipe!”

  • “Nice one. Added some crushed pineapple on top before frosting with cool whip. It was really rich and a bit too sweet. I might cut down on the condensed milk next time…”

  • “If you hate dry cakes and love coconut this is the cake for you! This is a VERY moist and easy to make cake. I thought it was great ,but a few of my tasters thought that it was a bit too sweet for them. Oh well, more for me!!”
