Ingredients
15 ounce package butter or white cake mix
3 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
12 ounce container Cool Whip topping , thawed
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup cream of coconut
1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat cake mix, eggs, oil, and water together with an electric mixer until blended and thickened, about 1 minute. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
In medium bowl, fold together the 1 1/2 cups coconut flakes and Cool Whip. Set aside.
In another bowl whisk together the condensed milk and cream of coconut.
Using the end of a small wooden spoon, poke holes about 1-inch apart, all over the top of cake. Drizzle the milk mixture all over the top of the cake, making sure it goes into all the holes. Let sit for 15 minutes.
Spread Cool Whip mixture over cake.
Sprinkle with the toasted coconut.
You can serve right away, but for optimal flavor let sit in the refrigerator for several hours, ideally overnight.
