Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. 2 Combine cake mix, water, eggs, oil, and coconut extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, combine coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl; stir until smooth.
  4. 4 Poke holes in warm cake in even rows using a large fork or chopsticks. Pour milk mixture over cake and let it soak in. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  5. 5 Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add sugar gradually, continuing to beat until soft peaks form; spread over cooled cake. Sprinkle top with flaked coconut.
