1️⃣ Oven Preparation:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2️⃣ Cake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, sour cream, coconut extract, pudding mix, and water. Beat until the batter is smooth and well combined.
3️⃣ Bake:
Pour the batter into a greased bundt pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a cake plate.
4️⃣ Cool:
Let the cake cool completely before adding the topping to ensure the topping stays put and doesn’t melt into the cake.
5️⃣ Topping:
While the cake cools, prepare the topping by beating the Cool Whip topping and pudding mix together. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set. Spread the mixture over the cooled cake, ensuring even coverage, and then sprinkle with shredded coconut.
6️⃣ Chill:
For the best flavor, refrigerate the cake for a few hours before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and intensify, creating a truly delectable dessert.
