How to Make Frangelico Coconut Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix, 1/2 cup Franglico liqueur, 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup water, and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. While cakes cool, prepare the coconut whipped cream: In a chilled bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  7. Once cakes are completely cool, carefully slice each layer horizontally to create four thinner layers.
  8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of coconut whipped cream over the top.
  9. Repeat with remaining cake layers and whipped cream, ending with a cake layer on top.
  10. Frost the entire cake with your choice of frosting (e.g., buttercream, cream cheese frosting) or a Franglico-infused frosting.
  11. Sprinkle generously with sweetened shredded coconut.
