Moist 'n' Creamy Coconut Cake image

White or yellow cake soaked in coconut syrup and topped with coconut-flecked whipped topping. I like to substitute stabilized whipped cream instead of Cool Whip, for better flavor. My husband's favorite!

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 sheet cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 sheet cake, 9 X 13
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut (2 cups)
8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

Steps:

  • Bake a 9" X 13" white or yellow cake from a mix or homemade.
  • After cake has cooled about 15 minutes, poke holes down through cake with utility fork.
  • While cake is cooling, make syrup. Combine milk, sugar, and 1/2 cup of the coconut in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 1 minute.
  • While hot, carefully spoon coconut syrup evenly over warm cake, allowing it to soak down through the holes. Cool cake completely before frosting.
  • Fold 1/2 cup coconut into the Cool Whip or stabilized whipped cream. Spread over cooled cake. Sprinkle remaining coconut over surface of whipped cream.
  • Refrigerate leftovers.
