Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to the package instructions, using the eggs, vegetable oil, and water.
Fold 0.5 cup of rainbow sprinkles into the prepared cake batter and divide evenly between the two cake pans.
Bake the cakes for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cakes cool, take the coconut milk ice cream out of the freezer to soften slightly.
Once the cakes are cool, place one layer flat-side-up on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread an even layer of softened coconut milk ice cream over the top, about 1 inch thick.
Place the second cake layer flat-side-up on top of the ice cream layer. Gently press down to secure.
Wrap the entire cake in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 2-4 hours or until firm.
Meanwhile, prepare the coconut whipped cream by mixing canned coconut cream and powdered sugar in a bowl using a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Remove the cake from the freezer and spread the coconut whipped cream over the top and sides.
Sprinkle the top with sweetened shredded coconut and additional rainbow sprinkles for decoration.
Return the cake to the freezer for another 1-2 hours to set completely.
Allow the cake to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Coconut Funfetti Ice Cream Cake!
