1 Pillsbury chocolate cake mix

Mix cake as directed on the back of box and bake in two 9 inch or three 8 inch cake pans. Cool, then cut in half (horizontally).

Combine:

1 (13 oz.) Cool Whip
1 c. sour cream
1 c. powdered sugar
1 c. coconut
1 tsp. vanilla

Frost each layer, except top. Place remainder of frosting in a plastic bowl and refrigerate. Wrap whole cake in a plastic bag, airtight, or place in large tupperware cake holder. Place in refrigerator for three days.

After three days are up, frost sides and top with remaining frosting.

For a more festive look, add a drop or two of red or green food coloring to frosting.
