Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 box yellow cake mix 15.25 ounces
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup sweetened flaked coconut

For the pudding

  • 1 box instant coconut cream pudding mix 3.4 ounces
  • 2 cups milk

For the topping

  • 8 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
  • toasted coconut for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch cake pan. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, water, oil, eggs and coconut with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow cake to cool 10-15 minutes. Using a straw or the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes across the cake, spaced every inch or so, halfway into the cake.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Pour evenly over the cake, making sure the mixture gets into the holes. Evenly top with the whipped topping. 
  5. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight for the best flavor.
  6. Before serving, top with toasted coconut.
