Ingredients
-
1 box, Duncan Hines Coconut Supreme Cake Mix
1 can Sprite Zero (or a little more is ok, if you happen to have a 20 oz bottle. Just increase the bake time)
1 tub Cool Whip Free, the average size, not the big one
.5 tsp Coconut Extract
1-4 serving pkg of Jello Fat Free Sugar Free Vanilla Pudding (or cheesecake, it's what I use)
1.5 cups skim milk
.5 cup Sweetened Coconut Flakes (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350, and spray 9x13 pan with nonstick spray.
In bowl combine cake mix and sprite zero, mix until well blended (I use my mixer on low for a couple minutes)
Bake for 25-45 minutes depending on the type of pan you used, and also the amount of sprite. When toothpick in the center comes out clean it's done.
Once cake is done, and has cooled some, poke holes in cake with a butter knife or the end of a wooden spoon. Combine milk and pudding, and spread over cake, (be sure to get it in the holes.)
Combine cool whip and coconut extract stir until blended, then add shredded coconut if desired. Spread over cake/pudding, cover and refridgerate any leftovers. This cake is better the older it gets, so the next day or even the day after it's fantastic! It also freezes well.

I made this for my husband's birthday, and it was a big hit! My husband doesn't usually like anything low fat or 'diet', but he loved it! And I agree, it's definitely even better the next day. I couldn't find the coconut cake mix, so used white cake mix. I'll try it with pineapple or orange next - 3/3/10

I made this twice and could not get the pudding to go in the holes. I would appreciate any suggestions. My husband and I both love it and it does freeze very well. - 9/22/08

What I do is just pour it on top of the cake and use a spatula to spread it, like frosting, pressing the pudding into the holes. I also use the handle end of the butter knife to get a bigger hole. Hope this helps!
