I baked the cake for 35 minutes, but it was still a little undercooked. I had to bake it for an additional 10 minutes.

I didn't have any coconut extract, so I used vanilla extract instead. The cake still turned out great.

I had some trouble finding pistachio pudding mix, but I was able to make my own using the recipe on the back of the coconut pudding mix box.
