Double Coconut Cake

Directions

1. Preheat oven according to box instructions.
2. Mix cake according to box instructions adding 1/2 tsp of coconut extract to cake ingredients. Bake according to pan size and cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.
3. Whisk the Coconut Milk, condensed milk and remaining 1/2 tsp of coconut extract together.
4. While cake is still warm, poke holes with thin bamboo skewer, or long tonged fork, in even rows across top. If making a layer cake poke holes in both layers. (Tips: We thought the thin bamboo skewer made the best holes. First dip skewer into coconut milk mixture to prevent cake from being pulled out of holes, then poke cake.)
5. Using a liquid measuring cup slowly pour 2 cups of coconut mixture into all holes, and across the cake. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled. Save remaining coconut sauce for pancakes, it makes a delicious syrup.
6. Frost 9" by 13" cake with favorite topping or whipped cream and sprinkle with coconut flakes. Refrigerate. If making layer cake unmold carefully and, using 2 wide spatulas, transfer first layer of cake to dish.
