Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking dish. Set aside.

Crumble the coconut into a mixing bowl and set aside at room temperature. In a separate small bowl, combine the cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk then refrigerate until needed. (Reserve the leftovers for another time).

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix and dry pudding mix. Add the eggs, oil, whole milk, and vanilla; using a hand mixer, beat the mixture for 2 1/2 minutes on medium-high speed. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 30 to 33 minutes or until center tests done with a toothpick.

Poke holes about 1 inch apart in the top of the hot cake with the end of a wooden spoon then slowly spoon the condensed milk mixture over the top. Cool cake completely on a wire rack.

Frost cooled cake with the Cool Whip; then sprinkle the coconut over the top. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
