Untitled — Coconut Box Cake

Source
Handwritten recipe notebook

An early draft of this recipe (heavily scratched out at the top of the page) called for instant coconut cream pudding, milk, and a whipped-cream/powdered-sugar/coconut-flake topping — largely illegible due to crossing-out. The recipe below is the clean, final version the author numbered “1)”.

Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • Water, vegetable oil & eggs, as directed on box
  • 3 tsp. coconut extract
  • 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes

Steps

  1. Prepare cake mix as directed on box, adding coconut extract and coconut flakes.
  2. Bake in a 9x13 pan as directed.

Notes

[illegible — crossed-out draft at top of page appears to describe an alternate coconut cream version: 2-3 (3.4 oz) boxes instant coconut cream pudding, 3 cups milk, topped with 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1/2 c. powdered sugar, and 1/3 c. sweetened coconut flakes.]
