Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 14 servings

Cake:

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package white cake mix

  • 1 cup water

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • 3 large egg whites

  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Coconut Frosting:

  • 2 cups sour cream

  • 1 ¾ cups white sugar

  • 2 cups flaked coconut, divided

  • 1 (16 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two (9-inch) round cake pans.

  2. Make the cake: Combine cake mix, water, oil, egg whites, and almond extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared cake pans.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 23 to 28 minutes. Allow cakes to cool completely. Remove cooled cakes from the pans, then cut each in half horizontally.

  4. Make the frosting: Combine sour cream and sugar together in a medium-sized bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 cups coconut. Reserve 1 cup frosting. Spread remaining frosting between the cooled cake layers; stack layers.

  5. Fold whipped topping into reserved frosting; frost top and sides of cake. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup coconut over top of the frosted cake.

  6. Refrigerate cake for 1 to 3 days before serving.

Editor's Note:

The directions for making the cake are based on a Betty Crocker Super Moist White Cake Mix. Follow instructions on the box if using a different brand.
