    I found this recipe in a recent issue of Rachel Ray magazine. When I made it, I thought 17 oz. of coconut was a lot of coconut. I just thought to come here and check the recipe and I discovered there was a misprint in the magazine. It’s only 7 oz. of coconut, lol! Mystery solved! Even with an overabundance of coconut, it was still really good. 🙂

    1. JY says:

      This was the same for me! I thought it was a lot but double checked the magazine and it did say 17 oz. Mine browned with 20 minutes left to bake. I thought to look here and then scraped half of the coconut off!

    For gluten free, use gluten-free cake mix and it turns out just as well as using regular cake mix.

    I was making cheesecake tarts and needed just a little more pie filling to finish. Saw the cabana (dump cake) recipe on the lucky leaf can and thought I’d make it to use the pie filling up! Oh my, it is delicious! It’s definitely in my recipe box!
