Ingredients
  

  • 1 box white cake mix 16 oz, plus the eggs, oil, and water it calls for

Notes

For best results, make the cake the night before serving and let it rest in the fridge overnight.
You can use yellow or butter cake mix instead of white for a richer flavor.
Consider toasting the shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator; the cake stays fresh for up to 4-5 days.
