ANOTHER recipe with a cake mix! I don't need a recipe to tell me to use a cake mix!! Cake mix is for when you're feeling too lazy for a recipe.

I thought this would be good as a chocolate-coconut cake, and it absolutely was. The only thing I did differently was to use a devil's food cake mix and light whipped topping. I also lightly toasted the coconut.

Easy to make. I substituted 2 oz of coconut rum for water in the cake mix. Really added a great flavor to the cake.

I have used "Sweet cakes" method.. store didn't have coconut cream pudding, so I got vanilla, used french vanilla cake, and omitted the SCM, as others recommended. So far, I tasted everything before it is all put together. I have a great feeling about this!

This is wonderful but I do think there is an error with this recipe. I think it should be coconut milk with sweetened condensed milk OR cream of coconut. Coconut milk is found with the Asian food section and is unsweetened. Cream of coconut is found in liquor stores and used to make Piña Coladas. It is very sweet on its own!! I made mine mixing 14oz of sweetened condensed milk and the unsweetened coconut milk! Perfect!!! Had quite a bit of milk left over too...can't imagine 16 oz of each.

Really quite good! It's much better after it refrigerates a day or so as well. The weak part of the cake is the cool whip, which just really has an overwhelming fake taste. I think next time I'll try fresh whipped cream or maybe even coconut milk whipped cream. You definitively do not need the sweetened condensed milk as others have noted. It is plenty sweet enough.

This cake was excellent! It was the wings for my daughter's angel birthday cake and it was a hit! I followed the directions to a T and was a little worried about cutting and moving the wings into place, but the cake was not soggy at all (it was refridgeratered overnight before moving). I got many complements!

I've made this two ways, with and without the sweetened condensed milk. Just the coconut cream is perfect. The sweetened condensed milk is not necessary at all(a bit too sweet)! I added coconut extract to the cake and the whipped cream (real not cool-whip). Very easy and a winner!
