Double Coconut Cake

• Cake
• 18 1/4 ounces white cake mix
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
• 3 egg whites (or as called for by your cake mix)
• 1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
• 1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
• 13 1/2 ounces coconut milk (not lite)
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (not lite)
• 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, toasted

• 2 cups cream, stiffly beaten with
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven according to box instructions.
2. Mix cake according to box instructions adding 1/2 tsp of coconut extract to cake ingredients.
3. Bake according to pan size and cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.
4. Whisk the Coconut Milk, condensed milk and remaining 1/2 tsp of coconut extract together.
5. While cake is still warm, poke holes with thin bamboo skewer, or long tonged fork, in even rows across top.
6. If making a layer cake poke holes in both layers. (Tips: We thought the thin bamboo skewer made the best holes. First dip skewer into coconut milk mixture to prevent cake from being pulled out of holes, then poke cake.).
7. Using a liquid measuring cup slowly pour 2 cups of coconut mixture into all holes, and across the cake.
8. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled.
9. Save remaining coconut sauce for pancakes, it makes a delicious syrup.

13. Frost.
14. Carefully layer second cake on top.
