Coconut Cream Cake is a moist and fluffy cake layered with coconut flavor, topped with a rich coconut cream frosting and sprinkled with shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
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.
While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top with a fork or skewer. Pour the cream of coconut evenly over the cake. Let it soak in and cool completely.
Once cooled, spread the whipped topping over the cake.
Sprinkle shredded coconut evenly over the top.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
For added texture, toast the shredded coconut before sprinkling on top.
You can substitute homemade whipped cream for a richer taste.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
