1 white cake prepared
1 13 oz can coconut milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 bag of shredded coconut
butter
Whipped Topping
fruit toppings
Instructions:
1. Prepare your white cake
2. While it is baking, mix the 2 milks together and set aside
3. When the cake comes out of the oven, pierce it all over with a fork to create holes for the liquid to seep into
4. Slowly pour the milk all over the cake
5. Refrigerate the cake until chilled through
6. Mix 1 small container of whipped topping with 1 cup of shredded coconut. Spread over top of cake.
7. In the oven toast coconut at 375 degrees until lightly brown; stirring several times during browning process. Remove when you have a light toast and sprinkle all over the top of the cake.
8. Top with your fruit of choice.
NOTE: Modified from http://www.theredheadedhostess.com/home-and-family/my-recipes/yummy-coconut-milk-cake/. I eliminated the 1 cup milk and toasted my coconut in the oven (too oily with the added butter). Also, I saw lots of comments about the cake mix itself – the ones with the pudding in the mix (my favorite) are apparently too moist for this recipe. I used the store brand and had a great dessert!
