Quick, Easy & Delicious Cake. I have taken it to many potlucks and it is always one of the first to be eaten. My Dad loved this cake. If you can't find a Coconut Cake Mix, you can use Yellow or White cake mix also.

Time 40m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (18 ounce) box coconut cake mix
1/3 cup oil
3 eggs
1 (14 ounce) can cream of coconut, Coco Lopez
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip
2 cups shredded coconut

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.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16.5 oz) box Duncan Hines Classic White Cake mix
1 small (4 servings size) box vanilla instant pudding mix
3 extra-large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup (half of 15 oz can) cream of coconut
2/3 cup (half of 14 oz can) sweetened condensed milk
8 - 12 ozs. Extra Creamy Cool Whip
1 (6 oz) package frozen sweetened flaked coconut, room temperature (I used Birds Eye brand)

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.
