Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 (or as Directed on Cake Mix).
- Mix together Cake Mix, Eggs and Oil (as per cake mix instructions).
- Once you have the cake mixed, stir in 1/2 - 1 cup of coconut.
- Pour batter into a 9 x 13 baking pan.
- Bake Cake according to instructions on box, or until it passes the toothpick test.
- Remove cake from oven, and give it just a few minutes to cool a little.
- While cake is still warm, poke holes in it. I use a serving fork to make big enough holes, so all the yummy cream of coconut can really get into the cake.
- Shake the Cream of Coconut very well to make sure the juice and the coconut are mixed well, you may even have to stir a little bit with a spoon after you open the can.
- Pour Cream of Coconut all over the warm cake, make sure to get around the edges too.
- Allow cake to cool and soak up all of the juice, I usually let mine sit overnight.
- Ice with Cool Whip and then put remaining coconut on top.
- If you want you can tint the coconut on top with food coloring for any holiday.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 13x9" baking dish. Set aside. Crumble the coconut into a mixing bowl and set aside at room temperature. In a separate small bowl, combine the cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk then refrigerate until needed. (Reserve the leftovers for another time). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix and dry pudding mix. Add the eggs, oil, whole milk, and vanilla; using a hand mixer, beat the mixture for 2 1/2 minutes on medium-high speed. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-33 minutes or until center tests done with a toothpick. Poke holes about 1 inch apart in the top of the hot cake with the end of a wooden spoon then slowly spoon the condensed milk mixture over the top. Cool cake completely on a wire rack. Frost cooled cake with the Cool Whip; then sprinkle the coconut over the top. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
Tips:
- Use a serrated knife to cut the cake evenly.
- Use a toothpick to poke holes all over the cake for the filling to soak in.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade coconut cream instead of canned coconut milk.
- Garnish the cake with whipped cream, toasted coconut, or fresh fruit before serving.
- Serve the cake cold for a refreshing dessert.
