Orange-Coconut Angel Food Cake Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 30 min. + cooling

Yield: 14 Servings

25 30 55

Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) angel food cake mix
1 cup cold water
1/3 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons orange extract, divided
1-3/4 cups cold fat-free milk
1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1-1/4 cups flaked coconut, divided
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed, divided

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, orange juice and 1 teaspoon orange extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan.
Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan onto a wire rack; cool completely, about 1 hour. Run a knife around sides of cake and remove from pan.
In a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Stir in orange peel and remaining orange extract. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Fold in 3/4 cup coconut and 3/4 cup whipped topping.
Split cake into three horizontal layers. Place bottom layer on a serving plate; top with half of the pudding mixture. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining whipped topping. Toast remaining coconut; sprinkle over top and sides of cake. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 14 servings.

add the coconut and you will add a star or two (smile, I love coconut and that would be my reason to try this cake)

made this for years only for frosting, I beat a small tub of fat-free whipped topping with a small box of sugar-free pudding mix, and add the orange extract and then enough orange juice to get the consistency I want....and leave off the coconut!!!
