  2. Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

  3. Bake the cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Follow the baking time specified on the cake mix box.

  4. While the cake is baking, prepare the coconut cream filling. In a bowl, mix together sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and shredded coconut.

  5. Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

  6. Use the back of a wooden spoon or a fork to poke holes all over the cake.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
