Mom's Favorite Birthday Cake

One of my family's most enjoyable traditions is to celebrate each person's birthday with their very favorite birthday cake. We take great pride in baking the most decadent cake we can to show our love for whoever is celebrating at the time. Over the years, the cakes have gotten fancier and fancier. But, last summer we got back to basics and the result was a coconut cake that everyone is still raving about...

MOM'S FAVORITE COCONUT CAKE

1 18.5 oz box White Cake milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 small can cream of coconut
1 16 oz tub Whipped Topping
1 cup shredded coconut

Prepare and bake the white cake mix in a 13 x 9 inch baking pan, as per the box directions. Let cool completely. Using a straw or wooden skewer, poke holes in the cake approximately 1/2 inch apart.

Mix together the milk and cream of coconut in a small bowl. Pour the milk mixture over the cake so that it is saturated completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Spread whipped topping over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the coconut over the whipped topping.

Yield: 16 - 24 servings


I hope you like as much as my family does! Until next time.
