"It turned out to be the best coconut cake I’ve encountered, with a moist tender crumb. It was served with lime sorbet and a grating of lime zest."

Steve Cavendish

"Pastry chef Betsy Johnston's desserts, though, provided the highlight of our meals and maybe the year. Her Southern coconut cake with lime sorbet was feather-light and avoided the cloying sweetness so many coconut dishes seem to fall into."

Taste of the South Magazine

"Pastry chef Betsy Johnson is responsible for the cake’s flavor profile, tweaking her basic recipe into the rich, pudding-like treat it is today. With three layers of cake soaked in coconut milk, a reduced coconut milk icing, and coconut extract, this cake does not shy away from its name."

Shea Leigh Mills

"If you like, love, or even hate coconut... GET THIS CAKE! It is rich, delicious, & I need a piece at least once a week please."

"I crave the coconut cake at Adele's."

Ginka Poole

"Since Adele’s did such a great job with the coconut, I wasn’t surprised about how much I liked this."
