Ingredients
  

  • 1 package white cake mix 16 oz
  • 1 can cream of coconut 14 oz
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
  • 1 container whipped topping 16 oz
  • 1 package flaked coconut 10 oz

Instructions
 

  • Bake the cake in a 9x13 pan according to the package instructions. Let it cool completely.
  • In a bowl, mix the cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk together until well blended.
  • Once the cake is cooled, poke holes all over the top using a fork.
  • Pour the coconut mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  • Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake and sprinkle the flaked coconut on top.
  • Chill the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
  • How to Serve Delicious Creamy Coconut Cake
  • Serve the cake cold, and for an extra treat, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some toasted coconut on top. This will add more flavor and a nice crunch to each bite!
  • How to Store Delicious Creamy Coconut Cake
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The cake will stay fresh for about 3-5 days. It’s best served chilled, so make sure to keep it cool!
  • Tips to Make Delicious Creamy Coconut Cake
  • For a more intense coconut flavor, add an extra layer of flaked coconut on top.
  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding the coconut mixture to prevent it from melting.
  • You can use a toothpick to make smaller holes if you want the mixture to soak more thoroughly into the cake.
  • Variation
  • For a chocolate twist, you can use a chocolate cake mix instead of white cake mix. This adds a rich flavor that pairs wonderfully with the coconut.
  • FAQs
  • Can I use homemade cake instead of a cake mix?
  • Yes, you can make a homemade vanilla cake if you prefer! Just ensure it is the same size and allow it to cool before adding the coconut mixture.
  • Is there a non-dairy option for this recipe?
  • You can use a non-dairy whipped topping and coconut cream to keep it dairy-free.
  • Can I freeze this cake?
  • While it’s best fresh, you can freeze the cake without the whipped topping. Wrap it tightly and freeze for up to a month. Thaw it in the refrigerator and then add the topping before serving.
