This is a great variation on the traditional rum cake! It is rich and smooth with deep citrus flavor. And the flavored buttercream frosting is an added treat!

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed this cake. The lemon flavor is very prominent.

This cake is a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cake.

Not a fan of this recipe. The cake was dry and the frosting was too runny. I wouldn't recommend it.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still a good recipe. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
