Ingredients

  • 1 box of yellow or white cake mix
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and coconut extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  3. Fold in the sweetened shredded coconut to the cake batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is baking, prepare the coconut glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and coconut milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
  7. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  8. Using a toothpick or skewer, poke holes all over the cake.
  9. Pour the coconut glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.
  11. If desired, garnish the cooled cake with toasted coconut flakes before serving.
