Super Simple Coconut Cake
A very simple take on a traditional coconut cake. This moist, white cake is infused with sweet condensed milk and topped with a fluffy cream cheese frosting, then coated with sweet coconut.
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 can condensed milk
- 1 16oz cream cheese frosting (1 tub) I actually like more frosting, so i use about a 1-1/2 tubs.
- 2 cups shredded, sweetened coconut
Instructions
- Grease a 9 x 13 glass dish. Prepare white cake mix per package instructions and pour into the greased baking dish. Baked as directed on the box.
- Remove baked cake from oven and immediately poke holes all over the warm cake with the handle of a wooden spoon.
- Pour entire can of condensed milk over the top of the warm cake, letting it run into the holes. Then cover and refrigerate until cool (several hours).
- Place the prepared frosting into a bowl and whip on a very high speed for about 5 minutes You are aerating this cream cheese frosting to make it lighter.
- Frost the cake with the whipped frosting and then sprinkle the coconut all over the top.
- Cut the cake and enjoy! Keep covered with plastic wrap and it will stay fresh all week.
