Time 4h5m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ white cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs whites called for on cake mix box
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract, if desired
1 cup milk
2 cups whipping cream
1 can (14 oz) cream of coconut (not coconut milk)
1 cup coconut, toasted
Sliced kiwifruit, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan.
  • In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, egg whites and coconut extract with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan. Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 5 minutes. With long-tined fork, poke top of hot cake every 1/2 inch, wiping fork occasionally to reduce sticking. In medium bowl, mix milk, 3/4 cup of the whipping cream and the cream of coconut with whisk until blended. Microwave on High about 1 minute 30 seconds or until heated. Carefully pour mixture over top of warm cake. Cover; refrigerate 3 hours or until chilled.
  • In small bowl, beat remaining 1 1/4 cups whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff (do not overbeat). Spread over cake; sprinkle with coconut. Cut cake into squares; serve with any remaining cream mixture from pan. Garnish with kiwifruit. Store covered in refrigerator.

This cake was a bit of a let-down. The coconut flavor was very artificial, and the tres leches mixture made the cake too soggy. I think I would have liked it better if the tres leches mixture had been less sweet.

I was disappointed with this cake. The coconut flavor was barely there, and the tres leches mixture didn't seem to soak into the cake very well. The texture of the cake was also a bit dry. I won't be making this cake again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The coconut flavor was nice, and the tres leches mixture made the cake very moist. I think I would try making it with less sugar next time.
