3 DAY COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Grease with shortening, then dust with flour 2 8" round cake pans.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cake mix, milk, eggs and vegetable oil. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Divide the batter equally between the two prepared cake pans.
• Bake for 25-27 minutes or until the center of the cake bounces back when you touch it.
• Allow the cakes to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then turn them out on a wire rack to cool completely.
• While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, sugar and thawed coconut. Mix well. Place this into the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the cake.
• To assemble the cake, cut each cake into two layers. You should now have four layers.
• Place one cake layer down on a cake plate, cut side up.
• Scoop 1/2-2/3 cup of the coconut filling into the center of the cake. Spread to the edges carefully so that it does not run over.
• Place another cake layer on top and then spread another 1/2-2/3 cup filling on top.
• Repeat with another cake layer and more filling.
• Then place the last cake layer on top.
• In a bowl, fold together any remaining sour cream filling (we had about 1/2 cup left over) with the 8 ounces of Cool Whip.
• Use this Cool Whip mixture to frost the outside and top of the cake.
• Store in the refrigerator for 3 days before serving. This allows the cake to develop the best flavor.

SOUR CREAM COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• 1. I have successfully revised the original recipe over the years by adding the frosting as the middle filling of this six-layer cake and increasing the amount of frosting considerably. The original recipe suggest using the 1, 2, 3 day approach (day 1: prepare filling; refrigerate/day 2: prepare cake/day 3: assemble cake). While this isn't entirely necessary, it is important to prepare at least the filling one day before baking the cake so the flavors of the coconut, sugar and sour cream can unify.
• 2. Mix sugar, sour cream and coconut together; refrigerate overnight. Next day, bake cake according to package directions in two 8 inch round cake pans. After cake is completely cooled, split layers, making six layers. Reserve 1 ½ cups sour cream, sugar and coconut which will be combined to make the mixture/filling for frosting (see below). Divide remaining mixture/filling generously between all the layers EXCEPT the middle layer when joining the two cakes together. Here is where you will use the frosting and then proceed to use the filling to complete the layering of the cake. Sorry I don't have pictures to explain this better.
• 3. FROSTING for middle layer, top and sides of cake: combine the 1 ½ cup sour cream, sugar and coconut mixture/filling with the Cool Whip. You will use almost the entire 16 ounce container but start by reserving the 1 cup (for another use) as you don't want the frosting to be too soft or fluid. The consistency of the frosting should be a little stiff. You can adjust as needed by adding more or less Cool Whip. The original recipe only called for an 8 oz container (don't think they make the 8 oz size anymore) but I think the added frosting adds to the beauty of the cake.
• 4. This cake MUST be kept in the refrigerator in an air-tight container (e.g. Tupperware). It is BEST if stored in the fridge for THREE days before serving so the cake can soak up the filling and the frosting. It is an extremely moist cake. For the holidays, you can even sprinkle coconut on top. Caution: you will want to serve in smaller portions (16 slices) as it is very rich and you don't want to waste a morsel!
