Scale
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 can (15 oz) cream of coconut
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine white cake mix, coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and coconut extract. Beat until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes
- For added texture, toast the shredded coconut before sprinkling on top.
- You can substitute homemade whipped cream for a richer taste.
