Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 4 eggs
• 1 ¼ cups white sugar
• 2 cups flaked coconut
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• ¼ cup orange juice
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 2 cups sour cream
• 1 (3 ounce) package orange flavored Jell-O® mix
• 1 (18.25 ounce) package orange cake mix

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, flavored gelatin, and instant whipped topping. Add the oil, milk and eggs; mix for 3 minutes with an electric mixer. Spread evenly into the prepared pans.

Step 3

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool cakes completely before removing from pans. Using a long serrated knife, split each layer in half horizontally.

Step 4

To make the icing and filling: In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, coconut, sugar and orange juice. Set 1 cup of this mixture aside. Use the remaining sour cream mixture for filling between the cake layers.

Step 5

Fold the whipped topping into the reserved sour cream mixture, and frost the outside of the cake.
