Instructions
 

For the Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Mix cake ingredients together in a bowl with a hand mixer for a minute or two, scraping the sides with a silicone spatula to make sure everything is incorporated
  • Pour into a greased 9X13 baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes for until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool while you make the topping

For the Topping

  • Combine the topping ingredients in a bowl and stir with a spoon or silicone spatula. Top your cooled cake, spreading evenly and add coconut to the top. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, make sure your cake is fully cooled so it doesn't melt your whipped topping.
Let sit for a few hours before eating if possible. This lets the instant pudding dissolve and tase even better!
