PS. Thanks Gaye for sharing!!!
This cake is great. I didn't have cake flour and wasn't able to find any but looked online and found a substitute: 1 c. cake flour = 7/8 c. all purpose flour + 2 Tbs. cornstarch. I just adjusted the measurements for the 1 1/2 c. asked for in the recipe. This worked well but online did say the cake would be denser if cake flour was not used and this cake did turn out denser than if used cake flour (probably, never used cake flour). This cake is good as written but if I were to make any changes, I would add more coconut or perhaps substitute coconut extract for the almond extract since I thought the coconut flavor was not quite strong enough (not an issue really). This would be even more awesome toasted with some ice cream and chocolate or fruit syrup, OMG!!! :):):)

Can someone please let me know if you used sweetened coconut or unsweetened? I'm making this tomorrow! :)
TASTY cake and easy!I sprayed the pan & it still stuck to the bottom, but did not fall apart to much when I got it out. But I did not use a bundt pan either, I used two round cake pansI baked at 326 but NO where NEAR 65 mins, it would have been burnt to a crisp. I think maybey 35-40 mins I cooked it and it was perfect; could be my oven though.Cant wait when my Marine comes home from work today to have him taste test it :) Then Im off to give samples to the neighbors :)

Did not work out well. Overflowed all over the oven! Followed the directions to the letter, but used regular flour instead of cake flour. I am at 7200 feet elevation, so maybe it's just not a high altitude recipe.

MMauroQuestion regarding this recipe then if cake flour is not available ? You would use 3 cups of flour minus 3 tablespoons, correct?

To make one cup of cake flour you add 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch to a 1 cup measure and fill the rest with flour.

Definitely do not grease your pan. I greased mine as one reviewer suggested and when I inverted the pan for cooling, my whole cake fell out.
