ISO Coconut Cake Recipe

[lindatooo]

My son recently made a coconut cake that started with a white cake mix which was baked then punched with holes and a mixture of coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk was poured over the hot cake. The only recipes I can find on the web are then frosted with a mixture of coconut and Cool Whip. He didn't use cool whip - his topping had coconut and pecans in it....does this sound familiar to anybody?

TIA

Yes, there is a chocolate version of this cake called, "Better than S--" cake. I believe carmel sauce is used instead of sweetened condensed milk. The cool whip frosts the top, and then some sort of crushed up candy bar (Heath bar, I think) is scattered on top.

I remember eating this very easy but rich and decadent cake and thinking, "wow".

Something like this?

Fresh Coconut Cake


Cake:
1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1 1/3 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Milk from 2 small or 1 large coconut


Mix all ingredients and pour into well greased and floured cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees F until done. Cool cake completely.


Punch holes into cake with a fork and pour coconut milk over cake. Frost cake with coconut icing and store in refrigerator. Cake spoils easily, but also freezes well.

Coconut Icing:
1 cup sour cream
2 cups granulated sugar
Finely chopped coconut from 2 small or 1 large coconut


Mix sour cream, sugar and chopped coconut and refrigerate for 3 hours before frosting cake.

I occasionally cover my basic poundcake with an icing similar to Zereh's only using any creamy spreadable type cheese and powdered sugar instead of sour cream and granulated sugar. I add some butter and whip it all together. Out came a sinfully yet heavenly rich and delicious concoction.
