Notes
I only had regular cake mix on hand, so I used that and a box of instant vanilla pudding mix.
I substituted half-and-half for the water in the recipe on the back of the box for richer cake.
You can usually find Cream of Coconut in the section of the store where they sell Daiquiri mixes and other liqueurs, though there is no alcoholic content in it. Be sure to shake or stir the can really well before pouring over the top as it settles to the bottom easily.
During holiday seasons I color the coconut in red and green.
You CANNOT substitute coconut milk for the cream of coconut in this recipe
