If you don’t like coconut you can stop reading right now. If you like coconut, brace yourself.
Simple ingredients (almost idiot-proof, I’d say): cake mix, cool whip, coconut are combined to produce an AWESOME tasting, melt -in-your-mouth cake. This one is so good, I take it to potlucks in a star pan. The cake, shown above, was my contribution to an Easter brunch a couple of years ago. I bought the chocolate decoration at Charlie’s Chocolate factory in Burnaby.
Let me know if you make it. I hope you like it.
