Toasted Coconut Cake

Step 1

Make and bake white cake mix as directed on the back of the box.

Step 2

When cake has finished baking, remove from the oven and poke the cake with a fork.

Step 3

Drizzle all but 3 tablespoons of the can of cream of coconut over the top of the cake, try to get the cream of coconut all over the cake top.

Step 4

Cool cake completely, on the counter or cover the cake and place in the refrigerator.

Step 5

While the cake cools, toast the coconut. Place shredded coconut on a baking sheet and place under the low broiler. Watch closely so it will not burn-this will not take much time. Remove from the oven and allow time to cool.

Step 6

When cake has cooled completely, mix the remaining three tablespoons of cream of coconut with the Cool Whip. Spread on the cake.

Step 7

Either sprinkle toasted coconut over the cake or serve it in a serving bowl to allow your guests the option. Some people like the flavor of coconut but not the texture, so I serve it on the side. Enjoy this delicious cake.
