1 cake
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 1 (18 1/4 ounce) package white cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1⁄3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut cream
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 cup flaked coconut
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 and grease and flour 2 round cake pans or 1 - 9x13 rectangle.
- In a bowl: combine cake mix, eggs, oil, water, & extract then beat for about 2 minutes and pour into pans. Bake for half an hour (until baked through).
- In a clean bowl: mix coconut cream with condensed milk and stir until smooth. When the cake comes out, poke holes in it all over (with a fork or skewers) then pour the milk mixture over the whole cake. Leave to absorb overnight.
- Beat cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue whipping until stiff. Either make it into a layered cake or just ice the top of a 9x13. Sprinkle top with flaked coconut (you can toast it if you want).

Love this cake! I also toasted the coconut for the top, and I stabilized my whipped cream with a big spoonful of marshmallow creme. I had just happened to have a bit of maraschino cherry flavored Malibu left over from another recipe, so I poured a little bit over the top if my chunk (too big to be called a "slice", lol). I highly recommend this if you happen to have some rum-soaked cherry soaking liquid left over as I did -- it's perfect with this cake! This was a lovely sweet ending to dinner last night, thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2014

<p>I'm a brand new single mommy to my tiny perfect human, so thank you to everyone who takes the time to make and review my recipes - I try to send a zmail to each of you, but baby girl has a different idea.</p>
<p>I'm a good ol' prairie girl from Canada with one side of the family being Ukrainian/Slovakian and the other side is German/Russian. In other words, when we cook we take carbs, cover them in more carbs, fry'em and serve it smothered in onions and cream. <br />No pro chefs in my family, just grandmas and aunts and cousins and a mom that had me pinching perogies and stuffing strudel before I could form a complete sentence. <br />The most dreaded / laughed at phrase I say is, So last night, I invented this thing for supper... - I would probably publish more recipes if I actually remembered everything I put in or had an idea of how much I added!!</p>
