This is quick because of the cake mix base, but it's luscious with its whipped cream frosting and loads of coconut. This would be terrific for Easter. Tint the coconut and add jellybeans on top! This is a combination of a couple of recipes from The Cake Mix Doctor. Please keep refrigerated. :)
Ingredients:
1 (18 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix (no pudding in the mix)
1 cup sour cream
1 (8 1/2 fluid ounce) can coco lopez (found in the cocktail mixers section of supermarket)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
baker's angel flake sweetened coconut

1. Beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed for one minute to blend.
2. Increase speed to medium and beat for two minutes, scraping down sides when necessary.
