Yes you heard right.
Recipe for icebox coconut cake.
I started making this coconut cake years ago after coming across a recipe in a book called the cake mix doctor by anne byrn.
Set aside 1 2 c of this mixture for later use.
Any cakes made with butter frosting and cream fillings should be covered and refrigerated.
Stir in whipped topping coconut extract and 1 cup of the remaining coconut.
Spread on top and sides.
Ice about 2 hours before serving.
Top with 1 cup fresh coconut.
Coconut cake is a southern tradition just like this hummingbird cake and i love my grandma s version when i was grown and on my own this was one of the first recipes i called her up and asked for along with her broccoli casserole recipe yum.
This should be kept in the refrigerator and will keep up to a week.
There s no shame in my game.
Try putting your coconut in a food processor or blender if you prefer a smoother textured cupcake.
Spoon 2 cups of the mixture into large bowl.
I combined the coconut milk with the condensed milk in a microwave safe bowl and the mixture was a bit runny so i added a bit of cornstarch about 3 4t and simmered the 2 ingredients in the microwave for about 4 min stirring after 2 min to thicken it a bit.
This coconut cake recipe has cream on the cake and butter in the frosting.
If you want a more intense coconut flavor add a teaspoon or two of coconut extract.
Make a custard of milk.
However if you like yours served at room temperature set it out 20 minutes before serving.

I did not have a can of cream of coconut in my pantry but i did have a can of coconut milk.

The next day bake cake mix according to directions on package.

Baking doesn t always have to be all sifting and measuring.
Mix the cake mix according to directions on box.
Mix 2 packages fresh frozen coconut with the sour cream and sugar.
Wasn t a from scratch baker that was my other grandma and this cake starts with a boxed cake mix but you doctor it up by skipping.
Spread filling between layers.
Because lets be honest the show stopper here is the amazing flavor of the icing and what s between the layers soaking into the cake.
This cake was delicious.
But i also love to use my everyday wedding cake recipe because it s just as easy as a box mix.
I had some coconut in my fridge that needed to be used and this is what i came up with.
So for the cake part you can feel free to use a boxed white cake mix i do most of the time.
I personally like my coconut cream poke cake cold so i serve it cold.
Like from a box.
Now mix the 1 2 c mixture with the whipped topping.
Bake in 2 cake layers and cool.
