Shortcut Coconut Cream Cake

Ingredients

1 box of white or French vanilla cake mix (prepared according to the package)

1 (8-ounces) tub of Cool Whip

1 can (15-ounces) cream of coconut (found in Asian or mixed drink isle of grocery store)

1 can (14-ounces) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

Prepare and bake the cake as directed on the box using a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. After the cake is baked place on a cooling rack.

Mix together one can of sweetened condensed milk and one can of cream of coconut, set aside. Poke holes in hot cake and pour the milk on top. Let it all soak in. I pour a little at a time and wait about 5 minutes then pour some more of the milk mixture into the cake.

Cool completely and frost with cool whip. Sprinkle additional toasted coconut all over the top. I toasted some additional coconut to garnish the top of the cake.

Note ~ when opening the cream of coconut, don't be alarmed if it looks congealed and gray in color. This happens when it sits on the shelf or if it was refrigerated.

I have made this many times. I would like to suggest that you take the extra time and make you're own whipped cream.

IMO Cool-whip tastes like some bad chemical, waxy, disgusting something-or-other.

It's worth it to make your own.

I'm not a fan of Cool Whip either. If I'm going to use a ready made product, I much prefer ReddiWhip in the aerosol can.

Thanks for posting ROMARY..this sounds waaaay too good!

I make this also and it's called Hawaiian cake. I also put on one can of crushed pinapple.

I agree - real whipped cream is so easy to make, and Cool Whip has HFCS and other junk in it.

It does look like an amazing cake, though, and one I'd like to try!

You won't be sorry! I have made this cake a day ahead of time and waited to put on the whipped cream and coconut just prior to serving. It just gets better and better after a day or two.

I made this for Easter and then topped it with the coconut and pastel colored M&M's.

ROMARY, thanks for posting this shortcut recipe (with the help of sparklestar)! My family has been making a version of this coconut cake forever! Always make it with Cool WHip & no one ever knows (not that it would matter) but no after taste with all the other ingredients added into it. And since this is a "short cut" version, don't have the time or need for extra work! We always make this cake at least a day ahead of when it is going to be served & always in the fridge! Thanks again for such an easy way to make it!!

I make this! Mine is called Coconut Poke Cake and it's the exact same recipe.

It's amazing! And dare I say, the leftovers make a sinful mid-morning treat with coffee. Mmmmm....

Is Cream of Coconut an alcohol product?

shy bobcat: No, it's not an alcohol product. it comes in a can and can usually be found in the Asian food section of a grocery store. The recipe calls for Cream of Coconut, so make sure you get that (and not coconut milk). It seems to me that would not work here at all.
