Coconut Lovers Cake

Ingredients:

1 box yellow cake mix + ingredients on box

1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 can Cream of Coconut(found in the liqour part of a grocery store...don't worry...there is no alcohol in it!)


Directions:
Make cake as directed on back of box.
After you bake it, poke holes in cake with end of wooden spoon or fork. Mix cream of coconut and Eagle Brand together in bowl. Pour over hot cake, letting it seep into holes of the cake. Let cake cool completely, put in your refigerator. (Overnight if possible) When completely cool...spread tub of cool whip on top and then sprinkle 2-3 cups of coconut on top of cake. ENJOY!!!
