Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the coconut extract and vanilla extract and mix well. Add a little milk if the icing is too thick or a little more powdered sugar if it seems too thin. Spread the icing evenly over the cooled and and sprinkle with the coconut.

COCONUT SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• Mix up cake according to package directions and add coconut extract. Bake cake according to directions in a 9x13 cake pan.
• Poke tons of holes with a toothpick on top of the cake. Slowly pour sweetened condensed milk and cream of coconut on top of cake while still hot. (Don't get nervous if it looks like a lot of liquid sitting on the sides. The cake will soak it all up!)
• Once cake completely cooled, add gelatin and water to a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Gelatin should be completely dissolved, stir to combine once more and set aside.
• In a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), beat powdered sugar until it starts to look foamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until soft peaks form.
• Turn your mixer (or beaters) to low and slowly stream in the gelatin mixture. (If your gelatin has harden, microwave again for just a couple of seconds to loosen it.) Turn the beaters back to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Frost cake with whipped cream and top with toasted shredded coconut. Store in the fridge until ready to serve!
