Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Boxed white cake mix
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Water
- 0.33 cup Vegetable oil
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 15 ounces Coconut cream
- 16 ounces Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 2 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions by combining the cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Beat until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly across the top of the cake while it is still warm.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and coconut cream until fully combined.
Pour the milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature, then cover it and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once the cake is chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut generously over the whipped topping.
Slice and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
