How to Make Loris Ann's Yummy Coconut Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare your favorite 9x13 inch white cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 42 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Immediately after removing from the oven, poke 12-16 holes evenly across the top of the hot cake using the handle of a wooden spoon.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk and 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk.
  6. Slowly pour the coconut milk mixture over the hot cake, allowing it to absorb fully. Some mixture will pool on the edges – that's okay!
  7. Let the cake cool completely at room temperature before covering and refrigerating for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. In a separate bowl, gently fold 1/2 (approximately 8 ounces) bag of sweetened shredded coconut into 1 (8-ounce) container of Cool Whip.
  9. Once the cake is chilled, frost the top evenly with the coconut Cool Whip mixture.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining coconut over the frosting.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
