Individual Rivalry: Coconuts In Your Mouth Cake

I was trying to figure out what to call this cake so I called my bestie Jill and we came up with this and laughed...inappropriate? Probably..but funny nonetheless. We figured since we have a cake called "Better Than Sex", that the world would be fine with a "Coconuts in Your Mouth" cake. Right? Get your minds out of the gutter. It's called that because its CRAZY good (crazy=nuts) and made with lots of coconut so it really is Coconuts in your mouth! Inappropriate?
I have been craving coconut flavored stuff all summer so I thought I would make a dessert centered around the whole fruit. Coconut is a fruit right? ha...who cares. Anyway, I threw a bunch of stuff together and it turned out AMAZING! So being the kind person that I am, I decided to share this crazy party in your mouth recipe with you all lovely people :)

Coconuts In Your Mouth Cake

1 box of your favorite yellow cake mix + whatever ingredients the cake mix calls for ( I used butter recipe yellow )

1 3oz. box of Coconut Cream Jello Cook and Serve

1 bottle of Coco Real Cream of Coconut *found in your mixed drinks isle*

1 refridgerated can of Thai Kitchen coconut milk *it MUST be Thai Kitchen* GO HERE to see how to prepare

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

2 c. cool whip (not pictured)

1 cup sweetened coconut flakes *toasted*

Prepare your cake batter according to the directions on the box and then add the coconut cream Jello to the batter. Mix well. Bake according to the box. I baked mine @350 for about 32 minutes.

Nice and golden brown :)

Then using the WRONG side of a wooden spoon poke wholes all over your cake. Don't try to be all neat and tidy like I did in the picture. I should have poked more holes! Let cool about 10-15 minutes.

Pour the ENTIRE bottle of Cream of Coconut all over the cake and then place the cake in the fridge.

Now would be a good time to toast your coconut flakes because your oven is hot and ready to go.

Like a cookie sheet with foil and spread out the coconut flakes on it.

Bake @350 for about 7 minutes

You are going to want to watch it closely and stir about every 2 minutes. I really just kind of watched it the whole time so I could stir before it had a chance to burn because it can burn quickly.

Dude. DUUUUUUUUUUDE! Look how pretty it is! I wanted to start snacking right then!

Now you are going to want to start making your coconut whip cream.

GO HERE to prepare it.

Once you have your coconut whip cream prepared fold in your 2 cups of whipped cream.

Take the cake out of the fridge and spread the coconut whip cream on top.

*your could greatly reduce the calories if you make more than one can of the coconut whipped cream and completely cut out the cool whip*

Finish by sprinkling on your toasted coconut flakes and you have yourself one coconutty cake!

Isn't she pretty?

Let me know if you guys make it! I would love to hear your reviews!

Peace out homes-
