★Ingredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Chocolate cake mix
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups grated coconut
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup melted chocolate (for drizzling)
1 cup grated coconut (for topping)
★Instructions
Preheat Oven* Heat your oven as per the instructions on the cake mix package.
Make Cake* Prepare the chocolate cake mixture according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9×13 inch baking pan.
Bake Cake* Bake as directed on the package.
Coconut Mixture* While the cake bakes, mix the sweetened condensed milk with 1 ½ cups of grated coconut in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Poke and Pour* Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately poke holes all over it using the handle of a wooden spoon. Pour the coconut and milk mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
Cool Cake* Let the cake cool completely.
Make Topping* In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
Frost Cake* Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cake.
Add Coconut and Chocolate* Sprinkle the remaining grated coconut on top of the frosting, then drizzle with melted chocolate.
Refrigerate* Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
