Piña Colada Cake

Yay more recipes, and this one I don't have a points plus value for because this isn't for me. This is my mother in law's recipe and it is my husband's favorite thing. She makes it for him for his birthday every year and I took it to a cookout Sunday. It is a piña colda cake.

1 box dry white cake mix

3 eggs

1/2 cup oil (I use vegetable)

1 can eagle brand milk

1 can cream of coconut

and for the frosting 1 small container of cool whip but I forgot to put that out for the picture.

Make the dry cake mix as instructed on the back of the box. Mine had an option for both 4 egg whites or 3 whole eggs. The only reason to use the egg whites instead of the whole eggs is to keep it whiter, which I didn't think was so necessary that I had to worry about separating the eggs, so I just use the whole egg. 

Spray your cake pan with cooking spray and then pour the mix in, I used a glass pan with a lid because that was easiest for storing and transporting. Cook as instructed on the box.

While the cake is still hot, use a knife to poke several holes in the cake. Now pour both the can of eagle brand milk and the can of cream of coconut over the cake, it will look something like this.

Cover your cake and refrigerate it. It is now cooling for the icing so it won't melt and also the contents of the cans are soaking in. 

Once cool, take out of the fridge, it will look something like this now.

The icing is literally nothing more than a whole container of cool whip.

Ta-da! The finished product, and it was very popular at the cookout. I recommend baking the night before you need it and chilling overnight so you can ice the morning of and have it ready for you.
