This filling is delicious! I made a different cake with this filling and it was perfect. Not too sweet and lots of coconut flavour.

Hi Erin – Sorry you had troubles with your cake. Sounds like you baked your cake too long and your let your ganache set up too long. What type of chocolate did you use in your ganache. Did you make changes to the cake recipe. I’ve made this cake numerous times, as have others, and it’s great.

This is the most disgusting cake I have ever made! It was really disappointing. I followed all the directions and the cake was dry and the ganache turned to concrete. The only decent thing was the coconut filling, and that is being nice. I will not be making it again, nor will I try any of your other recipes. I’m sure your food is great, just not for me.

Made this recipe for the first time yesterday. Since I like to take desserts in to work and also give some to family, I prefer to make cupcakes. And rather than the ganache, I used a Swiss buttercream. Best cake recipe I have made. Used the ingredients for all 3 layers and got 38 cupcakes. Baked them for about 15-17 at 350. Will definitely make these again. Thank you, look forward to perusing your site for other delicious items!

In reply to Navya. Hi Navya - different ovens and different pans will require different cook times. I would definitely reduce the cook time significantly if the cake was hard and dry. I would not add milk to this recipe.

Hi Barbara,
Last time i tried this chocolate cake recipe it came out bit hard and dry.I am going to try the same recipe again this time i ll keep a close look at the oven. How much should be the baking time for the single layer. Another silly question,should i add milk to this recipe? Will it help in making the cake moist?

Regards
Navya.
