Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box White cake mix
- 3 pieces Eggs (as called for on cake mix box)
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil (as called for on cake mix box)
- 1 cups Water (as called for on cake mix box)
- 14 ounces Cream of coconut
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (such as 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 cake mix according to the package instructions, using the eggs, water, and vegetable oil as directed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes in the baking dish.
While the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes all over the surface of the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
Slowly pour the cream of coconut mixture evenly over the poked cake, making sure all the holes are filled. The liquid will soak into the cake, making it incredibly moist.
Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to let the flavors develop.
Once chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake.
Sprinkle the shredded sweetened coconut on top of the whipped topping.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the rich coconut flavors!
