Steps:
- 1. Make the haupia pudding first.
- 2. Heat the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- 3. Mix water and cornstarch together. Slowly stir into the coconut milk, stirring constantly until it boils and thickens. Boil and stir for one minute.
- 4. Remove from heat. Allow to cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- 5. Prepare cake mix according to package directions, using the coconut milk and water. Bake in a 9" X 13" pan. Cool.
- 6. Once cake is cooled, "frost" with the haupia pudding and place in the fridge to set.
- 7. Place a medium bowl and beaters in the freezer to chill. Mix the powdered sugar and the cocoa powder together in a small bowl, set aside.
- 8. When you are ready to serve the cake, beat the whipping cream, adding the sugar mixture, until thick enough to hold it's shape. Spread over cake and serve.
- 9. Refrigerate any leftovers
