đ§ Ingredients: The Dream Team
Hereâs what youâll need to make this creamy coconut sensation:
- 1 (16 oz) box white cake mix
- 1 (14 oz) can cream of coconut
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (16 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 (10 oz) package flaked coconut

How to Make Creamy Coconut Cake: Step-by-Step
1. Bake the Cake
Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour into a 9Ă13-inch baking dish and bake as directed. Once baked, remove from oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
2. Poke and Pour
Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the surface of the warm cake. Mix together the cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk, then slowly pour it over the cake, letting it soak into every corner and crevice. Let the cake cool completely.
3. Frost and Sprinkle
Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the cooled cake. Then sprinkle the flaked coconut generously on top, covering every inch with coconut love.
4. Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better!) to let the flavors meld and the cake become ultra-moist. Slice and serve cold for the ultimate tropical dessert experience.
Tips & Variations
- Add a splash of vanilla or coconut extract to the cake batter for extra aroma.
- Toast some of the flaked coconut for a golden, nutty finish.
- Want a layered version? Bake the cake in two 9-inch rounds and layer with whipped topping and coconut between.
