- 1 cup of coconut milk<\/li>\n
- 1\/3 cup of vegetable oil<\/li>\n
- 3 large eggs<\/li>\n
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
For the Coconut Cream Filling:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk<\/li>\n
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) of coconut milk<\/li>\n
- 1 teaspoon of coconut extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
For the Topping:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
1 pint of heavy whipping cream<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
1\/4 cup of powdered sugar<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
1 cup of sweetened shredded coconut, toasted<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Instructions<\/span><\/h4>\n\n- \n
Prepare the Cake:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.<\/li>\n
- In a mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and well combined.<\/li>\n
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.<\/li>\n
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Make the Coconut Cream Filling:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- While the cake bakes, prepare the coconut cream filling. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and coconut extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is well blended and warmed through; be careful not to let it boil.<\/li>\n
- Once the cake is out of the oven, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Then, using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.<\/li>\n
- Slowly pour the coconut cream filling over the top of the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Prepare the Topping:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- To toast the shredded coconut, spread it evenly on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven (350\u00b0F) for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from oven and let cool.<\/li>\n
- To make the whipped cream topping, pour the heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.<\/li>\n
- Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until soft peaks form, which should take about 3-5 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Assemble the Cake:<\/strong>\n
\n- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled, soaked cake.<\/li>\n
- Generously sprinkle the toasted coconut over the top of the whipped cream layer.<\/li>\n
- For best results, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow all the flavors to meld together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
