I'm not a big fan of coconut, but this cake was surprisingly good. The coconut flavor was subtle and not too overpowering.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the coconut flavor was overpowering.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try reducing the sugar next time.
