Specialty Recipe

Easy Fresh Coconut Cake

I am happy to share a couple recipes that are always a hit in my family. My personal favorite is Coconut Cake. This is a great-tasting dessert and is enjoyed after any meal. I hope you enjoy your dessert as you sample a taste of Mississippi. I am sure they will become a favorite of your family too.

Ingredients

1 box Duncan Hines Golden Butter cake mix

8 ounces sour cream

2 cups sugar

Three 6-ounce packs of frozen coconut

8 ounces Cool Whip dessert topping

While cake is baking, pour sour cream, sugar, and two packages of frozen coconut into bowl. Stir mixture every now and then. Thaw remaining package of frozen coconut, reserving this for the top and sides. Frost and stack layers with the coconut, sour cream, and sugar mixture. Cover the top and sides with dessert topping and sprinkle coconut on top and sides.
