Heavenly. This cake is delectable. I could not get the coconut cream and condensed milk mixture to sink into the cake. But it didnt matter. Cake is simply delicious and decadent tasting. I would skip poking holes in the cake.

I was hesitant about making this cake at first (the dumping liquid on top seemed odd) but the first bite proved me wrong. I made this for my boyfriend's birthday and he nearly ate the whole thing in one sitting!! So moist and delicious!

Made my Mom this cake for Easter and it was a HIT!!! I added 1 tbsp coconut flavor in cake and in icing. I also added a cup of toasted coconut in the icing and a cup of chopped nuts and also sprinkled top with coconut and nuts and put 12 maraschino cherries on top (because my granddaughter loves the cherries). It was delicious and oh so moist!!!!

I made this cake for my sister's birthday, and everyone told me it was the best cake they'd ever had!! I used two 9-inch round pans and put a layer of cool whip between the two. I used 1 1/2 cup cream of coconut and 1 1/3 cup condensed milk. The cake was so moist it was difficult to slice without falling apart, so I recommend less liquid. I died the cool whip a turquoise color by stirring in food dye. I also colored the coconut by making a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon water and a few drops of food dye then adding it to a Ziploc bag of coconut. I highly recommend this cake!!!

I love this cake, & I'm not even all that into the coconut flavor. But how I make it is I only pour the sweetened condensed milk into the baked cake and instead mix the cream of coconut with the cool whip. It's even better like that!

I make this cake quite a bit. I find it best to mix the cream of coconut and condensed milk together in a bowl with a spoon and then spread evenly over the holes. Let sit until room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 12 hours and then top with cool whip and coconut flakes. This way the mixture of cream of coconut and milk have a chance to soak through the cake. Trust me when I say very delicious!

Made this for a party and it was a hit. I mixed the cream of coconut and sweetened cond milk together before pouring over the cake. I toasted the coconut flakes in the oven to bring out their nutty taste and it really looked good spread over the Cool Whip! My husband asked me to be sure and keep this recipe handy as it is a winner in his book!

I have made this cake many times, except I use a yellow cake. I mix the cream of cocoanut and condensed milk together, make holes with the round handle of a wooden spoon (larger holes allow more infusion), refrigerate the cakes (covered with foil), then top with REAL whipped cream and then cocoanut. Someday I am going to try it with a chocolate cake, plus the maraschino cherries. Good idea!
