-

Instructions
-
Prepare the Cake: Bake the white cake mix according to package directions for a 9×13-inch pan. Use the listed ingredients—egg whites, oil, and water.
-
Poke the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven. While still hot, poke holes all over the top using a large fork.
-
Pour the Cream of Coconut: Stir the cream of coconut well, then pour it evenly over the warm cake. Spread it around so it seeps into all the holes.
-
Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely. This helps the cream of coconut absorb fully and settle.
-
Add the Topping: Spread the thawed COOL WHIP over the cooled cake using a spatula. Make sure to cover every corner for a smooth layer.
-
Finish with Coconut: Evenly sprinkle the sweetened flaked coconut over the whipped topping.
-
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake for several hours before slicing. Serve it chilled for the best flavor and texture.
