Delicious! Loved the texture as well as flavor. 2 c sugar sounded like a lot, but wasn't. Used Canola, but next time will try corn oil just to see if there's difference in flavor. Used sweetened coconut flakes since it was what I had and I think worked fine. Used Granny Smith Apples and walnuts (didn't chop, I like to bite into big pieces). Used my Kitchenaid mixer since I'm not as strong as I used to be and it was good that I did because mixture does get very thick as stated. I just sort of turned on/off slowly at end to mix apples, nuts and coconut, on stir. Otherwise would have had ingreds flying out. I sprayed Nordic Ware Fleur De Lis Bundt pan with canola oil and forgot flour, but cake released easily, looked beautiful. Next time I'd like to butter and flour pan because I think I prefer butter flavor. I did preheat oven, which wasn't indicated and I let cake cool in pan for 15 mins after I took out of oven, then turned out onto cooling rack to cool completely. Thanks for a great recipe.
