directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
  • Prepare cake as directed on package, but use 2 eggs instead of the number the recipe calls for.
  • Bake as directed.
  • While cake is baking, combine cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk.
  • When the cake is done, remove from oven and, while it is still hot, punch holes in the top (the handle of a wooden spoon works well). Pour the cream of coconut/condensed milk mixture over top and into all the holes.
  • Let cake cool thoroughly (can be refrigerated to cool). When ready to serve, cover cake with whipped topping and sprinkle coconut flakes on top.
  • Serve thoroughly cooled.

  1. I'm giving it 4 stars because its a version of a cake my Mom has made for ages. Fabo cake, disapears in an instant. Its sweet, but not too sweet, and is great at a picnic or BBQ. Mom's version uses yellow cake instead of white, and adds crushed pinapple to the mix. I can't be sure on the particulars, but if you email me I'll send them.
     
  2. Easy to make and so delicious. I drained a small can of crushed pineapple and put over cake then cool whip and coconut. Better if made a day in advance and leave in refer. Everyone had seconds!

  1. I diddled with this recipe. I put a can of crushed pineapple instead of the water into the cake mix. The cake originally tasted a little bitter coming out of the oven but the cream concoction quickly took care of that. This was a rich dessert that went over well with my family.

I'm a writer, a retired accountant, a wife, grandmother, a gardener, a cook, a bird watcher, a sky watcher, a lover of the ocean, a walker, and a life long resident of Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island. It's a big city now, with all the big city advantages and disadvantages. I miss the small town feel but love the restaurant choices and the people friendly improvements. My writing is mainly non fiction on historical bits, and I have brief and so far unsuccessful forays into historical fiction. Someday..... I don't think I'm a great cook but I'm the kind of cook who can walk into the kitchen and find good things in the fridge and pantry and make it into a meal that everyone thinks is pretty darn good. Sometimes I use a recipe and sometimes...not so much. I have a great collection of cookbooks, and I love reading them and studying the pictures. Sometimes I even cook the recipes, LOL! And that is why I love Zaar, an unending source of recipes and pictures.
