This was the first coconut cake I received for my birthday. Very, very, moist.
Sorry, I do not have a texture shot of this one. It is all gone now.

I forgot to tell Kelli that I did not use light or fat free, even though the recipe called for those. I used regular sour cream and cool whip. I rarely use the "healthy" stuff when baking! Things just don't taste the same.
