Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare three 8” pans with pan release.
  2. Mix eggs, sour cream, oil, and cream of coconut. Add in cake mix and combine approx. 2-3 minutes.
  3. Divide into three 8” prepared pans evenly. Bake 30 – 35 minutes.
Prepare filling/icing:
  1. Whip cream cheese until soft & fluffy.
  2. Add 1 tsp vanilla, 2 bags fresh frozen coconut, and slowly add powdered sugar.
  3. Gently fold in cool whip and refrigerate until cakes are completely cool, chilled, and ready to fill.
  4. Once cakes are chilled, remove from the fridge, fill and stack, saving enough for the outside of the cake.
  5. Cover the cake with remaining filling/icing and gently press flaked coconut into the sides. Cakes must be cold. This will be a little thinner than regular buttercream and it is a bit messy but worth it.
  6. Refrigerate overnight before serving.
