Provided by carmen-2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 yellow cake mix
1 can (16 ounces) fruit cocktail in heavy syrup
2 1/2 cup sweetened coconut
2 eggs
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup canned evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit and spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In the bowl of an electric mixer, add cake mix, fruit cocktail with syrup, 1 cup of the coconut and the eggs. Mix on medium low for 2 minutes, or until well blended. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake 45 minutes, or until set but don't over bake. While cake is cooking, make topping by heating the butter, sugar and milk on medium low in a saucepan, stirring occasionally. Once it boils, boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining coconut. Pour over hot cake when removed from oven. Serve warm or cool.

This cake is so moist and chocolatey. I love the cream cheese frosting too. It's the perfect combination.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

This cake was a hit at my last party! Everyone loved it. It's moist and chocolatey, and the frosting is the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again.
