Valentine's Day Cake

by on ‎02-11-2015 06:13 PM

Coconut Cake



  • 1 box yellow cake mix

  • 1 small package vanilla instant pudding mix

  • 1-1/3 cup of water

  • 4 eggs

  • 1/4 vegetable oil

  • 2 cups flaked coconut

  • 1 cup chopped nuts, of your choice (I generally use walnuts)


Blend cake mix, pudding mix, water, eggs and vegetable oil in a large mixing bowl on medium speed for about 4 minutes.


Hand stir in coconut and nuts.


Pour into 2 or 3 greased and floured 9-inch layer pans (depending on if you want a two or a three layered cake. I made two this time.


Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool in the pans for at least 15 minutes then remove and completely cool on a rack or a counter top.


I usually top the cake with a homemade coconut cream cheese frosting, but I was short on time and mixed 2 cans of white fluffy Betty Crocker frosting with one and a half cups of flaked coconut. Be careful not to add too much coconut or the frosting will be too thick and too hard to spread.


Counting our Blessings and Happy Valentine's Day!
