Without a doubt, this is a keeper. I made this cake this morning and my husband and I are having it with coffee as I write this.
The cake is super-moist, with a delightful crunchy caramel coconut top. I love cake, but I’m not big on frosting, so for me this is perfect. Very quick and easy to make too.
I made the cake as is, with no changes, except for me the cake took about 40 minutes to bake.
Thanks for sharing, Jodi!

We also baked a little longer as it was still liquid and soooo not done at 30 min. It was super moist, and dense and the carmely-coconuty topping was awesome. My family announced it as their new favorite!
I did add a tsp of cinnamon as my dh is a cinnamon addict. Don’t know that it needed it though.

Baked this cake yesterday to send as dessert for the meals I made for my parents and inlaws and it was definitely a hit. I will be making this time and again. Thank you so much for sharing this; I think it may even be better than my Mom’s oatmeal cake…and she’s “famous” for hers amongst the family!

Just made this cake- so easy & quick! The house smells like caramel, and the cake is moist and absolutely delicious! I added 1 tsp cinnamon as country cricket suggested, and used 1 stick butter for “1 cube.” Will be making this again & again!

this is an AMAZING cake! i, too, added cinnamon to the batter, but i also put slivered almonds in the topping. i can’t quit eating it! my coworkers devoured it and said it was the best thing i have made! this will definetly be something i make often!

DEE-licious! I could eat the caramel sauce with a spoon. I also added the cinnamon because it just sounded tasty. I couldn’t wait for it to cool, so I had a piece nice and hot from the oven. The only thing I changed was to omit the coconut because my hubby doesn’t care for it.

In a word, scrumptious. I made this for my mom’s birthday tonight (she’s an oatmeal lover, coconut lover) and served warm and gooey with French vanilla ice cream. Everyone gave it VERY high marks. Oh and for the cube of butter, I literally chopped a cube-shape off my stick of butter–somewhere in the 2 or 3 tbps. range. Don’t think any more than that would be necessary.

This cake is wonderful. Thank you for sharing the recipe. It’s even good the next day…if it lasts that long!

This looks wonderful! I’m a private chef and I’m totally making this for the family I work for!

This sounds incredible!! I’d love to make this but can you tell me what a cube of butter is? Is that equivalent to a tablespoon?
sydneybeanpug on 2.3.2011
I was going to ask how much a cube is also. I have been searching the net and have answers anywhere form 1 Tbl to 1 stick. I was thinking of making this today but since I don’t know what a cube is, I guess I will wait till I hear from someone. thanks

A cube is a stick, it’s a regional thing…and I am so making this today, since it looks yummy and it’ll warm up my kitchen!

I think the recipe needs to be changed to make it universally clear. Not only is one cube butter unclear, but also 1 cup coconut. Shredded, sweetened, unsweetened, fresh, etc etc…. Also, *cook* glaze?? I am an experienced cook and can assume it means on the stovetop at a moderate heat, but new cooks? No, this recipe needs work.

Well, call me crazy, but I understood this recipe just fine. The only “work” it needs is for me to go home and make it! It looks yummy! Thanks, jodijenson, for posting it.
dittobelle on 2.3.2011
Call me crazy too, then. As an experienced cook… I immediately knew from the recipe proportions that 1 cube of butter would be the equivalent of one stick… and coconut means flaked coconut.
I’m printing it out and adding this cake to the weekend baking lineup.
Thanks for the recipe, Jodi. Looks delicious!

What a pretty cake! And welcome to Tasty Kitchen! I see this is your first recipe here (I’m kinda new too). Well, for someone who admits that she’s a home cook in training, this is certainly one pretty and yummy-sounding dessert. I can’t wait to try it!

This sounds wonderful! I admit I was a little confused about the ‘cube’ thing, but it sounds like its a regional thing, so I’ll roll with that. Thanks for sharing, I have a surplus of oatmeal just waiting to become cake!

Sounds great. I have an old family recipe from my mother-in-law that we call Oatmeal cake, it also has chopped pecans in the icing which would be a great addition to this topping. Thanks so much for sharing. By the way, my mother- in- law used to freeze hers for later use and it was great.
