Flavorful Coconut Bliss: Your New Go-To Cream of Coconut Cake Recipe

This Cream of Coconut Cake delivers an ultra-moist, tender crumb with lush coconut flavor in every bite. Yet it stays beautifully light, so each slice feels special without being heavy. Moreover, the simple method keeps stress low while the results look bakery-worthy for parties or weeknight treats. For coconut lovers, this is comfort and celebration on the same plate. If you enjoy tropical twists, you might also like pairing a slice with a spoon of fruit from this bright Peaches and Cream Cake.

Here’s how you can achieve a sun-kissed flavor and a soft, velvety texture, complete with professional tips to ensure the crumb stays moist, the topping turns cloud-light, and the coconut sings. Because the batter comes together quickly, you’ll spend less time mixing and more time savoring. And for a lovely brunch table, consider serving it alongside tender slices of Easy Banana Bread for contrast and variety.

Pro Tips for a Perfect Cream of Coconut Cake:

  1. Room-Temp Meets Cold Contrast: Use room-temperature eggs and milk, but keep the coconut cream well stirred and silky for even hydration and a plush crumb.
  2. Mix Just Until Combined: Over-mixing develops gluten and can toughen the cake. Therefore, stop as soon as streaks disappear and the batter looks smooth.
  3. Don’t Overbake: Pull the cake when a toothpick has a few moist crumbs. Consequently, your cake stays ultra-soft after the soak.
  4. Smart Soak Strategy: Poke warm cake generously, then pour the coconut-condensed milk slowly so it seeps deep, not only across the surface.
  5. Chill for Clean Slices: After topping with whipped coating and coconut, chill well. Slices will cut neatly, and flavors meld beautifully. For another chilled crowd-pleaser on your dessert table, keep this dreamy Pineapple Dream Dessert in mind.

Cream of Coconut Cake Recipe

  • Preparation time: 10 minutes
  • Baking time: 18–22 minutes
  • Servings: 12
  • Equipment: 9×13-inch baking dish, mixing bowl, whisk, fork, wire rack

With this coconut-kissed beauty, your kitchen becomes a sunny bake shop where creamy sweetness meets tender crumb. It’s weeknight-easy, party-ready, and endlessly shareable. For more inspiration, peek at the glossy crumb style in this classic Million Dollar Cake.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (16 oz) white cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 (13.6 oz) can coconut cream
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (16 oz) cool whip, thawed
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Directions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, mix cake mix, eggs, milk, and melted butter until just combined. Avoid over-mixing for a tender crumb.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour batter into the prepared dish and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Cool Completely: Place the pan on a wire rack and allow the cake to fully cool. Patience helps the soak set up properly.
  5. Blend the Soak: In a small bowl, combine coconut cream and condensed milk. Stir until completely smooth and unified.
  6. Poke and Soak: Poke holes all over the top of the cooled cake with a fork. Pour the coconut-milk mixture evenly over the cake and let it soak in for 5–10 minutes.
  7. Frost and Finish: Spread cool whip over the top and sprinkle with shredded coconut. Chill until ready to serve for the cleanest slices and the best texture.

Optional Serving Note: A thin wedge of bright citrus on the plate adds a gentle contrast. Likewise, a warm beverage highlights the cake’s creamy sweetness. If you love citrus-meets-cream pairings, bookmark this lively Lemon Drizzle Cake for later.

Ready to Relish!

This Cream of Coconut Cake is the definition of easy elegance: simple steps, impressive results, and flavor that lingers like a tropical breeze. Every forkful is soft, creamy, and gently sweet, with coconut drifting through the crumb and the topping like a whisper. Because the cake chills before serving, it slices neatly, presents beautifully, and stays moist for days. Share it at potlucks, bring it to family dinners, or keep it at home for quiet treats after a long day. And when you’re in the mood for another tender crumb with a cozy vibe, pour a cup of coffee and try this buttery Streusel Coffee Cake. For celebrations that call for a no-fail showstopper, a silky chocolate counterpoint like this comforting Chocolate Cobbler turns the table into a dessert celebration.

Because the method is straightforward, your attention can stay on touchpoints that truly matter: gentle mixing, precise doneness, a thorough soak, and proper chilling. Consequently, the texture becomes plush and the coconut notes bloom. Finally, serve with a smile and a little sparkle of shredded coconut on each plate. Joy tastes like this cake—simple, creamy, and unforgettable.
