Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 1 box yellow cake mix, plus the ingredients listed on the back to prepare
  • 2 cups sweetened coconut, divided
  • 6 ounces strawberry jello mix, (1 package)
  • 1½ cups hot water
  • 1½ cups strawberry preserve
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed, (1 tub)

Method
 

  1. Make the cake. Prepare the yellow cake batter per the package’s instructions. Fold ½ cup shredded coconut into the batter. Bake in a well-greased 9X13-inch cake pan per the package’s instructions.
  2. Poke. Once the cake has cooled completely, poke holes over the entire surface with the handle of a wooden spoon. Do not poke all the way to the bottom.
  3. Soak. Whisk together the Jello mix and the hot water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Jello mix has dissolved into the water. Pour the mixture evenly over the cake.
  4. Add the preserve. Heat the strawberry preserve for 30 seconds in the microwave and then spread it evenly over the cake.
  5. Frost. Give the cake 15 minutes or so to cool before spreading the cool whip evenly over the top. Sprinkle the cool whip with the remaining coconut flakes.
