Cake Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (white or yellow)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3 large eggs
Custard Filling
- 1 package custard mix (prepared according to package instructions)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, coconut milk, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake according to the cake mix package instructions, typically at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
- Prepare the Custard Filling: While the cake is baking and cooling, prepare the custard filling according to the package directions. Once prepared, fold in the shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
- Layer the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, carefully slice it horizontally to create two layers. Spread a generous amount of the custard filling on the bottom layer, then place the top layer back on.
- Final Assembly: Optionally, garnish the top with additional shredded coconut or custard. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- Make sure the cake is fully cooled before adding the custard to prevent it from melting.
- Using canned coconut milk enhances the coconut flavor and keeps the cake moist.
- For a more intense coconut taste, lightly toast the shredded coconut before mixing it into the custard.
- Serves well chilled or at room temperature.
