Ingredients:

Serving

1 box of white cake mix. (yellow cakes work well and if you just have to make a chocolate and coconut cake, feel free to use a chocolate cake mix. (its good!))
1 large container of cool whip
1 can of coconut milk (found in asian food aisles) 19 oz.
1 to 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut (use as much as you like!)

Directions:

Baking the cake mix in a 13x9 inch pan according to the manufacturer's directions.
Once the cake has completely baking, remove the cake from the oven. Take a fork and quickly and gently punch holes over the entire surface of the HOT cake, trying not to break the cake into pieces.
Shake up the can of coconut milk and open, pouring the coconut milk directly over the surface fo the cake, letting the coconut milk seep into the hot cake.
Cover the cake with aluminum foil and refrigerate until it is cold to the touch. Remove foil and cover with Cool Whip and sprinkle with coconut. Serve!
If you like a sweeter cake, you can actually add a can of sweetened condensed milk over the hot cake before adding the coconut milk.
I found a recipe for this addition years ago on .
I add white chocolate slivers to the top at times and have even toasted the coconut first. The packages coconut is great without being toasted as its adds a fresher flavor to the cake and sweetness, too! Aloooohaaaa! (Thank you Don Ho!)
(The pic came from . I borrowed it! It looks very similar to the recipe above. )
