Angel Flake Coconut Cake




Yesterday I cooked Easter dinner and we also celebrated my father in laws 84th birthday.  This called for a "Celebration Cake"! 

I decided to try a new recipe  - Angel Flake Coconut Cake.  It was delicious.





Angel Flake Coconut Cake

1 pkg  2 layer yellow cake mix
1 pkg   Coconut (long flaked sweetened)
1 cup cold milk
1 pkg vanilla flavour instant pudding
1/4 cup icing sugar
1 tub Cool Whipped Topping, thawed

Prepare cake batter as directed on package; stir in 2/3 cup coconut.  Pour evenly into two 9 inch round baking pans.  Bake as directed on package.  Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove to wire racks.  Cool cakes completely.

Pour milk into medium bowl.  Add dry pudding mix and icing sugar.  Beat with a whisk 2 minutes or until blended.  (Mixture will be thick)  Gently stir in Cool Whip.  Refrigerate15 min.

Place one cake layer on serving plate; spread top with 1 cup of the pudding mixture.  Sprinkle with 3/4 cup coconut; cover with second cake layer.  Spread top and side with remaining pudding mixture; press remaining coconut into pudding mixture.  Refrigerate at least 1 hour.  Store leftovers in the refridgerator
- If there are any that is!  I have added this recipe into the family cookbook my boys say it is a keeper!
