Wonderful cake! Found unsweetened coconut that I sweetened with a packet of splenda and used Pillsbury sugar free cake mix to make it really diabetic friendly.

How far ahead of time can the whipped topping and sour cream be added. I was planning this for Easter dinner. Is it too early to do this on Friday?

Hi there! The whipped topping, sour cream and coconut mixture can be added to this cake recipe up to one day ahead of serving. Enjoy!

I just love coconut, for the longest time coconut cream pie was my most favorite. Since I found out I have diabetes, I do not eat it anymore. Therefore, I am super excited to try this, and it looks super easy. I will post here after I have made it and let you all know how it turns out wish me luck!

This cake is yummy, yummyand did I forget to say yummy?! The best part is that its light, and moist, and it doesnt have any weird after taste as a result of the fat-free and diet ingredients. Its simply yummy.
