Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 3 large eggs (as called for on the cake mix box)
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil (as called for on the cake mix box)
- 1 cup water (as called for on the cake mix box)
- 13.5 oz coconut milk
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions, using the eggs, vegetable oil, and water specified on the box.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 28-33 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes, then use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface of the cake. Space the holes about 1 inch apart.
In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
Slowly pour the coconut milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into all the holes. Let the cake cool completely, about 1 hour.
Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake.
Sprinkle the shredded sweetened coconut over the whipped topping.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and for the cake to set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
