Directions
-
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box (usually 350ðF/175ðC).
-
Prepare the cake batter according to the package directions and pour it into a greased and floured 9x13-inch baking pan.
-
Bake the cake for the time indicated on the box, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack; this is crucial to prevent the frosting from melting.
-
While the cake cools, prepare the frosting by combining the Cool Whip, sour cream, sugar, and shredded coconut in a medium bowl.
-
Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined and smooth.
-
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the coconut frosting evenly over the top of the cake.
-
Slice into squares and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
