Coconut Cake


My sweet friend Erin made this amazing coconut cake on Easter and brought it over and I have been thinking about it ever since. It was SOOOOO good and moist. I LOVE coconut cake almost as much as I love red velvet and this was probably the best I've ever had.

It was the same idea as the Butterfinger cake that Scott requests on a daily basis.

Ingredients:
One white cake mix
14 oz can of cream of coconut (found in the mixed drinks area)
14 oz can of Sweet condensed milk
Cool Whip
Coconut flakes

Bake the cake mix according to the box. While hot, poke holes all over the cake. Mix the sweet milk and coconut milk and pour over cake. Once cake is cool, top with cool whip and the coconut flakes. Keep refrigerated. SO, SO good!

Yummy!!! If you are looking for a 'fancy' coconut cake recipe, Paula Deen has a fantastic one. It's yummy layers of cake, icing and coconut. I found she was WAY off on the prep time - it took me at least 45 minutes to get everything mixed up and put back in the fridge/pantry. But it's pretty and looks nice on a table for parties.

I love this cake, but I use yellow cake mix instead. The recipe was in an article about Paula Deen that appeared in Family Circle (or Woman's Day?) before she became a huge star.

I am always looking for some good ideas and I will help you come up with themes. I would love to do it but I just don;t have the traffic on my blog like you do....

We love to make this cake but we make it with chocolate cake and it is so yummy - we call it the Mounds Cake!

Kelly, I know you don't have time to reply to everything but I hope you at least get to read this big THANK YOU! I made this cake for July 4 and added blueberries and strawberries to make it a flag cake and it was a huge hit at our block party and the other bbq we attended! I love a home-run recipe--thanks so much!

I loved it!!! I found the coconut cake even better the day after it was made. I think the coconut cream / sweet condensed milk soaked into the cake making it more rich tasting.

Careful who you make this for...only true coconut lovers truly enjoy this cake. My husband loves deserts but this was a little too much coconut for him.
