Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Grease with shortening, then dust with flour 2 8" round cake pans.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cake mix, milk, eggs and vegetable oil. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Divide the batter equally between the two prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-27 minutes or until the center of the cake bounces back when you touch it.
- Allow the cakes to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then turn them out on a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, sugar and thawed coconut. Mix well. Place this into the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the cake.
- To assemble the cake, cut each cake into two layers. You should now have four layers.
- Place one cake layer down on a cake plate, cut side up.
- Scoop 1/2-2/3 cup of the coconut filling into the center of the cake. Spread to the edges carefully so that it does not run over.
- Place another cake layer on top and then spread another 1/2-2/3 cup filling on top.
- Repeat with another cake layer and more filling.
- Then place the last cake layer on top.
- In a bowl, fold together any remaining sour cream filling (we had about 1/2 cup left over) with the 8 ounces of Cool Whip.
- Use this Cool Whip mixture to frost the outside and top of the cake.
- Store in the refrigerator for 3 days before serving. This allows the cake to develop the best flavor.
