Sour Cream: 8 oz
Sugar: 1 1/2 cups
Sweetened Flake Coconut: 3 packages (7 oz each)

Directions

STEP 1
Prepare the Cake: Follow the package directions to make the white cake mix using two round pans. After baking, let the cakes cool, then cut each horizontally to create four layers.

STEP 2
Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the sour cream, sugar, and two packages of coconut. Spread this mix over each cake layer as you place them on a serving plate.

STEP 3
Frost the Cake: Use the remaining coconut mix to frost the outside of the cake. Then, press the coconut from the third package onto the top and sides of the cake.

STEP 4
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake to set the frosting. Serve it at room temperature for optimal flavor.
