I too made this cake for Mother's Day, and I think it turned out super-delicious! But I just wanted to chime in to say that my coconut tunnel ended up a dense mass too - as if I'd just pressed in shredded coconut straight from the bag. I was expecting a more meringue-y soft center, but the meringue had completely disappeared into the cake. I'm pretty sure I whipped the whites enough - the peak of the meringue was very stiff. I think maybe it was too much coconut and not enough meringue? Anyway, don't get me wrong - the cake was totally yummy and a huge hit regardless! This sounds like a great opportunity to call and chat with one of our bakers. Call us at the direct number 802-649-3717 or call our 800# and ask to speak with a baker. Irene @ KAF
