Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for best flavor)
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1 cup whipped topping (thawed if frozen)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup toasted coconut (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the chocolate cake mix box.
  2. Prepare the cake batter according to the box directions, mixing until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  4. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, following the baking time indicated on the box.
  5. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
  6. Using a fork, poke holes across the entire cake, spacing them about 1 to 2 inches apart.
  7. Whisk together the coconut milk and chocolate syrup until smooth.
  8. Pour the mixture evenly over the cake, filling the holes generously.
  9. Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature.
  10. Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake’s surface and sprinkle the shredded coconut and chocolate chips on top, finishing with the toasted coconut garnish.
  11. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For even more coconut flavor, consider adding a dash of coconut extract to the batter. Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
