For a richer coconut flavor, substitute coconut milk for the water called for in the cake mix. To toast coconut, spread it in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning. Alternatively, toast in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly. You can use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought whipped topping for an even more decadent treat. Consider adding a layer of cream cheese frosting before topping with whipped cream for a tangy twist.

Nov 29, 2021I found the cake a little too sweet, so I reduced the amount of sweetened condensed milk slightly, and it was perfect for my taste.
