Osteen likes to frost these cakes while they're still warm. They'll absorb some of the frosting, which takes on the consistency of a glaze.

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
All-purpose flour (for pans)
1 15 to 16-ounce box yellow cake mix
4 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon whole milk
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Three 8"-diameter cake pans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat cake pans with nonstick spray. Dust with flour, tapping out excess.
  • Whisk cake mix, eggs, oil, and 1 cup milk in a large bowl until no lumps remain. Divide batter evenly among prepared pans; smooth tops.
  • Bake cakes until a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix coconut, sugar, sour cream, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon milk in a medium bowl to combine; set frosting aside.
  • Transfer pans to wire racks; let cool 5 minutes. Turn cakes out onto racks and spread frosting over tops of warm cakes, dividing evenly. Stack cakes. Let stand at room temperature, covered with a cake dome, or loosely tented with foil, at least 4 hours before serving.
  • DO AHEAD: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
