This moist coconut cake is definitely one of my most-requested desserts. Use different cake mixes and pudding flavors for variety. —Gail Cayce, Wautoma, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1 package white cake mix (regular size)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup poppy seeds
  • 3-1/2 cups cold whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted, optional

Directions

  1. Prepare cake according to package directions, adding coconut and poppy seeds to batter.
  2. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool completely.
