• 2 cups sour cream
• 1 (16 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 23 to 28 minutes. Allow cakes to cool completely. Remove cooled cakes from the pans, then cut each in half horizontally.

Step 2

Refrigerate cake for 1 to 3 days before serving.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two (9-inch) round cake pans.

Step 4

Fold whipped topping into reserved frosting; frost top and sides of cake. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup coconut over top of the frosted cake.

Step 5

Make the cake: Combine cake mix, water, oil, egg whites, and almond extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared cake pans.

Step 6

Make the frosting: Combine sour cream and sugar together in a medium-sized bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 cups coconut. Reserve 1 cup frosting. Spread remaining frosting between the cooled cake layers; stack layers.
