After sampling this cake at a picnic, I had to find the lady who made it to ask for the recipe. I've made it - and shared the recipe myself - many times since.

I made it in the 9X13 pan recommended. I also thought that 2 cups of sugar sounded like a lot so reduced it to 1 cup and used Splenda as the sweetener insted of sugar in the cake. Topping as written. Guys just tasted for coffee time and said it was great.

My family loved it. Doubled the recipe and made it in a 9 x 13. Pickiest eating son passed by his favorite cake sitting nearby to have third helpings of this.

AWFUL! Followed directions exactly and the end result was one big, greasy, sticky MESS in a pan!!

Cake batter did not mix well. I added 1/3 cup milk to turn crumb mixture into a batter. Coconut in topping gave cake a nice crunchy top, but finished cake was too sweet.

I took this recipe to a group gathering, and the hostess raved about it. She said she must have the recipe. Absolutely do recommend.

I followed the recipe exactly as it said; this didn't even resemble a cake. Absolutely do NOT recommend to anyone.
