Coconut Cake

A spring-time favorite! Get a head start on this classic cake with yellow cake mix.

Editor's note: The icing is a little runny as it is meant to soak into the layers to moisten the cake. Too runny for your taste? You can also add more marshmallows.

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 2/3 cup oil
  • 4 eggs
Icing
  • 2½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 pound fine shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 10–15 large marshmallows

Directions

  1. Mix cake ingredients and bake according to directions on box.

  2. For icing, mix sugar, water, coconut and vanilla and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium and boil for 20 minutes. Take off burner and add marshmallows; stir until melted. 

  3. Cool slightly and spoon on each layer while cake is still warm.
