How To Make Coconut Cream Cake

Prepare and bake white cake mix according to package direction until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean.
Remove the cake from the oven, then poke holes all over the cake using a fork or wooden rod. Pour the cream of coconut all over the cake and spread until it soaked in. Let cool
Spread the cake with the whipped topping.
Toasted Coconut
Skillet Directions:
Place the coconut in a large skillet
Cook over low-medium heat, stirring frequently, until the flakes are mostly golden brown.
Microwave Directions:
Microwave the coconut in 30 second increments, stirring in between until the coconut reaches your desired color.
Add the toasted coconut all over the top of the cake. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:
- After filling, it’s important to let the cake completely cool before adding the whipped topping
- You do not have to toast the coconut. We love the added flavor, but just adding the coconut to the top of the cake as it is will work just fine.
- You can include sliced almonds to the top of the cake if you prefer. Gives the cake an extra crunch.
