This was simply divine! I made this for my hubby since he loves coconut and he couldn't stop eating it! I made this on Halloween. I tinted the milk/coconut mixture a shade of orange and then tinted the coconut that goes on top orange to give it a more festive feel. I left all the measurements the same and it turned out great! Big hit in our house!

I've made this cake 3 times!! Its a big hit. Im just not a fan of cool whip so I use a buttercream icing and then sprinkle coconut on top. This recipe is a keeper!!

This is the BEST cake! However, I only use about half of the concoction you pour over the cake. It does take a while to soak in. Once I tried using all of it and it was just too sweet. Much better just using half. Yummy recipe. Thank you!

I've had mixed feeling on this cake through the whole process; white cake mix? A lot of liquid? But the end result is perfect! The cream mixture thickened up after sitting in the fridge but my only complaint is it didn't completely soak in the cake, it pooled around the sides. The cake wasn't soggy like I thought it would be like Tres Leche. IMO, 12 oz. of Cool Whip is plenty. I can't honestly say how much coconut we used since I just topped in on individual slices since I didn't want to waste the coconut if we didn't like the cake. Will probably make again.

A really yum and simple recipie. Very simular to the 'tres leche' recepies out there but much easier which I like. I didnt frost mine as I thought that would be to sweet for my liking...but I do feel it needed something to decorate and finish it off.

This cake is wonderful. I did alter it a bit, I added coconut and vanilla extract to the whipped topping for extra flavor. I also added about a fourth of a cup of regular milk to the condensed milk mixture to thin it out a bit. This cake is very sweet, but sooo good.

Such an easy recipe to make! The taste is light, not too much coconut or too sweet flavor. We found it to be so delicious and will definitely become a family favorite!

Tasty just right for my sugar tooth friend who adores coconut. THough I took the advice to use a spoon handle and that was really bad advice, it left my cake full of huge holes. Next time I will just stick with the recipe and use a large pronged fork. I also made some cupcakes, and they turned out nice too!

My cousin has been making this exact recipe for years and we all LOVE it! The cake is so moist and flavorful. The people that I know that don't like coconut - actually like this cake because the cake itself doesn't have a strong coconut taste and the fresh coconut is just on top of the cool-whip -so anyone who doesn't care for coconut can easily take it off. If you like coconut though - you will LOVE this cake.

Wanting to cut the sweetness some, I made this with coconut milk instead of the coconut cream and it came out wonderful. I used half of the milk combo on one cake and baked a yellow cake with choco chips and topped it with the ramaining milk. FABULOUS! OH YUM! Definately going to make this again and again. Simply wonderful! Enjoy!

I made the cake and added 2 whole eggs and one egg white. I poked holes with a wooden spoon and slowly poured the coconut cream down each hole and then slowly over the whole cake.I omitted the sweetened condensed milk because I could tell it would be too sweet for my tastes. I refrigerated it, and then the next morning I took it to work along with Cool Whip,coconut,crushed pineapple,cherries. Everyone seemed to like being able to choose individual toppings. It was definitely a hit, and it was soooo easy to bake. I will definitely make again. I may try a pineapple cake mix next time.

This is so easy and so good. My husband hates coconut and he loves this. I just leave flaked coconut off of half for him. I've made it several times, exactly as written and it's always popular.
