This coconut cream dream cake is the dream of coconut lovers. A white sheet of cake is baked and then holes are pierced on top to form edible bowls to collect the coconut cream which will be poured on the cake while it is still hot. It is glazed with whipped cream and a combination of fresh, sweet flaked coconut to crown it with glory. It’s an almost angelic cake and completely irresistible to the coconut fans in your life.
COCONUT CREAM CAKE IS EVEN BETTER WHEN MADE AHEAD OF TIME.
I’m a fan of everything coconut and it’s pure decadence. Coconut cakes have a unique ability to get better and better over time. The same goes for this coconut cream cake, which gets better the longer it sits, making it perfect for entertainment and vacation events. I can only make this cake by receiving because it tempts me beyond my control. The very first version of this cake I tasted was several years ago when my mother baked it for a church dinner. One bite and since that day, I love anything with coconut. The ease with which it can be prepared ahead of time makes it one of my favorite Southern dishes.

DIRECTIONS
Wow, what an excellent dessert – it will certainly be one of the family’s favorites! … So to prepare this recipe, you must first bake the yellow butter cake mix according to the package instructions in a 13x9x2 pan.
Second step: At this stage, and once the cake is hot, you have to pierce it with a fork.
Step 3: After all this, you now need to combine a can of coconut cream and a can of Eagle Brand milk and pour the mixture over the cake. Then you have to cover and refrigerate.
Step 4: Finally, at this stage and when the cake is cold, you need to spread it with 8 ounces of Cool Whip and a packet of frozen coconut (thawed). Finally, keep the cake in the refrigerator !! enjoye yuumyy

This has got to be the weirdest recipe I have ever seen. What the hell is “a can of butter yellow cake mix”? And the instruction say to bake in a 13×9 in pan but the picture shows a round cake. Has something been lost in translation?
Something got lost
I totally agree
Agree
Do the 9×13 cake pan. Use box mix. I also use a can of Coco Casa and Eagle Brand milk mixed to pour over the holes. It helps to poke some larger holes with handle of wooden spoon. Keep spreading cream over holes until it is absorbed.
Chocolate Version—- use chocolate cake mix, poke holes, mix Eagle Brand milk and butterscotch or caramel ice cream sauce, Pour over warm cake after poking holes. Cool Whip icing after refrigeration. Sprinkle a bag of Heath Bar Brickle over cool Whip. You can find Brickle in with the choc chips.
Where do I find a yellow butter cake mix? Is it the same as.a yellow cake? I think it would look and taste better if the coconut on the top of the cake was toasted.
Where can one find “frozen coconut” these days? Bird’s-Eye doesn’t produce it anymore. I had to stop making our favorite cake (our only cake) a few years ago because I cannot find frozen coconut anymore. I do not think simply freezing some coconut would be the same. Thanks.
I won’t be able to verify for a couple of days, but a quick Google search says it is available at my local Walmart. I would love to make this, even if the recipe is a bit…odd.
duncan hines makes the butter golden cake mix.. and there is no reason you cannot use canned coconut for the topping.. this is a type of poke cake using the milk and coconut cream in place of pudding on top..
I assume they mean a box of Yellow Butter Cake Mix. I have never heard of frozen coconut. Can I use regular sweetened coconut out of a bag? The recipe also didn’t mention poking holes in the cake before pouring on the milk mixture. I think an 8 oz. container of Cool Whip would cover a 13 x 9 cake, but it wouldn’t be enough for a layer cake that is pictured. You would probably need at least 2 for a layer cake.
Looks delicious though!
Frozen coconut at Walmart is only a couple off bucks and is the best!!!!!
Food Lion Also Carries Frozen Coconut
Butter cake mix is not the regular cake cake mix
I make this all the time!!! Just use a regular white or french vanilla mix. It doesn’t matter… It is delicious!!
And I use the sweetened coconut in a bag. Poke holes in baked cake with a knife sharpener rod. Makes good size holes. You can add some coconut to the cake mix batter before baking…
I use white cake mix, just as good and I don’t use the sweet milk! Cream of coconut is sweet enough
