Time P1DT6h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter
1 1/4 cups water
2 cups sugar
2 cups flaked coconut
8 ounces Cool Whip
2 cups sour cream

Steps:

  • Prepare cake mix as directed using the 3 eggs, 1 1/4 cup of water and 1/2 cup of butter, then pour into 8" or 9" pans. **depending on what brand of cake mix you buy the amount of eggs, butter, water may be different - just use the ingredients listed on your box of yellow cake and omit any of mine that aren't needed. I used Betty Crocker butter recipe yellow, but it doesn't not matter which one you use**.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the sugar, coconut and sour cream.
  • Set aside 1 cup of the coconut mixture.
  • After the cake has cooled split the layers using a serrated knike, so you have 4 layers.
  • On a covered cake dish begin layering the cake with the coconut mixture, leave the top layer unfrosted.
  • Take the remaining cup of coconut mixture and mix with the cool whip.
  • Frost the top and the sides of the cake.
  • Cover the cake and refrigerate for 3 days before serving.
  • LOVE IT!

The frosting is a bit too thick and heavy for my taste. I would recommend using a lighter frosting, such as a whipped cream frosting.

The cake didn't rise as much as I expected. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by half.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, but the cake still turned out great. I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I used maple syrup instead of sugar. The cake was still light and fluffy, and the flavors were just as delicious.
