My husband adores coconut but not so much cake. When I take this beauty to family potlucks, he gets his coconut, too. —Sharon Rehm, New Blaine, Arkansas

Ingredients

1 package white cake mix (regular size)
1-1/4 cups coconut milk (about 10 ounces)
3 large eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted
FROSTING:
1 cup butter, cubed
12 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup coconut milk (about 4 ounces)
2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 to 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line bottoms of 2 greased 8-in. round baking pans with parchment; grease paper.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, coconut milk, eggs and melted butter; beat on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium 1-1/2 minutes. Transfer to prepared pans. Bake and cool as package directs.
For frosting, in a small saucepan, combine butter, chocolate and coconut milk; heat and stir over medium heat until blended. Remove from heat; gradually stir in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
Place bowl in an ice-water bath. Using a hand mixer, beat frosting on high speed 6-8 minutes or until spreadable. Spread between layers and over top and sides of cake. Cover with coconut.

Health Tip: Save nearly 150 calories and 10 g fat per serving: Cut the frosting in half and spread it between the cake layers and over the top—not the sides— for an elegant look.

Editor’s Note: Look for unsweetened coconut in the baking or health food section.
