Grandma Martha's Coconut Cake

My absolute favorite dessert my Grandma would make is this Coconut Cake.

I'm obsessed with coconut!

I always thought she made this cake from scratch...haha I couldn't 

believe how easy it was to make her cake!

She was almost embarrassed showing me the recipe because it wasn't homemade.

But that's how delicious it is....Tastes homemade :)

Super moist and super coconutty and I love the whipped cream on top!

So here it is!

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 white cake mix
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Coconut Milk - small can
8 oz. Cool Whip
1 cup shredded coconut

*use applesauce in place of oil when making cake


Instructions

1. Bake cake in a 9x12 inch pan according to box mix directions.
