I hope everyone has had a great week. My week has been great but it has been so long. I didn't think Friday would ever get here.
I have 2 things on my to do list this weekend besides the "norm". I am sharing this with you hoping it will help me get it accomplished. I need to scrapbook and start on my "free table" (I'll share the free table with you its complete).
Have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday!

HEAVENLY COCONUT CAKE
Ingredients:
1 (18 -1/4 oz.) box white cake mix
1 (140z.) Can Eagle Brand Milk
1 (15oz.) Can Coco Lopez (Cream of Coconut)
1 (8oz.) Container of Cool Whip
2 Cups of flaked Coconut
Bake the cake following the box directions for a 13 x 9 pan. After cake has cooled punch the cake with a fork all over the top. In a small bowl, mix the Eagle brand milk and Cream of Coconut. Pour the milk mixture on top of the cake. After the mixture has been absorbed in the cake, spread cool whip on top and cover with the coconut. Refrigerate.
This recipe is heavenly. I think its better to refrigerate overnight before serving.
