Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box (about 15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix (plus eggs, oil, and water as directed)

For the Filling:

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk

For Topping:

  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package directions and bake in two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans. Let cakes cool completely.
  2. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the whipped topping until well blended.
  3. Prepare the Pudding: In another bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the cream filling over the top. Add the second cake layer and cover the top and sides with the remaining filling.
  5. Add the Topping: Press shredded coconut evenly over the entire cake until fully coated.
  6. Chill and Serve: Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flair, tint the coconut pink with a few drops of food coloring.
  • This cake is best served cold and keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
