Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Straw or Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 package white cake mix 16 ounce package, prepared according to package directions

Milk Mixture Ingredients

  • 1 can cream of coconut 14 ounce can
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounce can

Topping Ingredients

  • 1 container frozen whipped topping 16 ounce container, thawed
  • 1 package flaked coconut 10 ounce package

Instructions

  • Prepare the white cake according to the package directions.
  • Bake the cake in a 9×13 inch pan as directed on the box.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk; stir until well mixed.
  • Once the cake is cooled, poke holes evenly all over the top of the cake using a straw or the handle of a wooden spoon.
  • Pour the milk and cream mixture slowly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes and the cake’s interior.
  • Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the soaked cake.
  • Sprinkle the flaked coconut over the whipped topping to cover.
  • Refrigerate the cake at least 2 hours, preferably longer, until fully chilled and the flavors meld.
  • Serve chilled, cut into squares, and enjoy.

Notes

For extra coconut flavor, toast half the flaked coconut in a dry skillet until golden and use that for the topping.
