Mango Coconut Cake
The original recipe is call; Is it Really Better than Sex? Cake by Paula Deen. You can find it at her website. She uses pineapple instead of mango and she uses more sugar.
Here is the version I made for Susan's party. It is pretty easy, just a lot of steps. Hint: Start out by toasting the coconut, bake the cake, make the mango sauce, cook the pudding, assemble all of the above, chill cake, whip the cream and frost the cake, have a cigarette when you are done, ha ha.
The cake serves up best if left in the refrigerator until serving time. Call me you have any ?? 528-7903

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of mango, but I really enjoyed this cake. The coconut flavor really balances out the mango.

This cake was a disaster! The batter was too runny and the cake didn't rise properly. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

This cake was good, but not great. The mango flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, and the cake was a bit dry. I would recommend using less mango and adding more coconut.
