I tried this recipe for my son's birthday years ago and fell in love with the tart lemon filling. The powdered sugar glaze and coconut in the topping make it a pretty addition to a brunch or afternoon get-together. -Anne Wickman, Endicott, New York

I thought this looked so good, but the recipe really did disappoint. There was no sugar in the cake batter, which I thought was odd, and it produced a crumbly, dry cake that was tasteless. The lemon curd flavor did not shine through, as there was only a 1/2 cup of it, and even the glaze and coconut streusel did not make up for it's flaws. I will not be making this again.

It was delicious, but hard to spread the batter in the pan. Would like to see a lighter version of this with less butter.
