Elevate your dessert spread with a tropical coconut cake using Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ mix.
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs whites called for on cake mix box
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract, if desired
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz) cream of coconut (not coconut milk)
  • 1 cup coconut, toasted
  • Sliced kiwifruit, if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan) and lightly spray the bottom of a 13x9-inch pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix cake mix, water, oil, egg whites, and coconut extract with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally. Pour batter into the pan and bake according to box instructions for a 13x9-inch pan. Allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes. Using a long-tined fork, poke the top of the hot cake every 1/2 inch, wiping the fork occasionally to prevent sticking. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, 3/4 cup of whipping cream, and cream of coconut until well blended. Microwave on High for about 1 minute and 30 seconds or until heated. Carefully pour the mixture over the warm cake. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until chilled.
  • Whip 1 1/4 cups of whipping cream in a small bowl until stiff peaks form. Spread over cake, sprinkle with coconut, and garnish with kiwifruit. Serve cut into squares with any extra cream mixture. Store covered in the refrigerator.
