🛒 Ingredients

For the Cake 🎂

• 1 box white cake mix (Duncan Hines recommended)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil

For the Coconut Cream Filling 🥥

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract, optional

For the Topping 🍦

• 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• Extra toasted coconut for garnish, optional

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the oven.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.

2. Mix the cake batter.
In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Beat according to the cake mix directions until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.

3. Bake the cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake according to the package directions, usually around 25–35 minutes. Check the center with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

4. Prepare the coconut cream mixture. 🥥
While the cake is still warm, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and optional coconut extract until smooth.

5. Add the coconut cream.
Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes across the warm cake. Slowly pour the coconut mixture over the surface, allowing it to soak into the cake.

6. Chill and let the flavors develop. ❄️
Allow the cake to cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This helps the cake absorb the coconut cream and become wonderfully moist.

7. Add the fluffy topping.
Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle with shredded coconut, adding toasted coconut if desired for extra flavor and crunch.

8. Slice and serve! 🍰
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Get ready for creamy coconut goodness in every bite!

💡 Tips for the Perfect Coconut Cream Dream Cake

• Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer coconut flavor.
• Don’t rush the chilling time: Overnight refrigeration makes the cake especially moist.
• Toast the coconut: Lightly toast some shredded coconut in a dry pan for a golden, nutty garnish.
• Love extra coconut? Add a little coconut extract to the batter, following the extract label’s guidance.
• Keep it refrigerated: Because of the dairy-based filling and whipped topping, store the cake covered in the refrigerator.
