I used lemon pudding and light cool whip for the frosting, and a butter yellow cake mix. It was delicious.

I made it and used pineapple juice instead of water in the mix. I also used fresh fruits to decorate the top! Cake was a big hit :)

Made this for Easter. Made the day before and refridgerated. Took others suggestion and used coconut milk in the pudding instead of milk. Moist and delicious.

Made this for Easter. It was pretty good. My mom said this should be my signature cake. She LOVED it. Hubby really enjoyed it too. It was nice and light.

Yummy. I used a white cake mix (eggs whites only) + sugar free white chocolate pudding mix + coconut milk for 1 cup of the water in the cake mix + coconut milk for 1/4 cup of the milk in the pudding... + I brushed coconut milk on the tops and bottoms of the warm cake layers. Delicious! Not too sweet and a MUST for coconut lovers... especially at Easter Time!

My dad's favorite cake is coconut. I made this cake for his birthday using the suggested white chocolate pudding and the user suggestion of substituting the water and milk in this recipe with coconut milk. I also poked small holes in the cake when it was hot out of the oven and brushed the cakes with more coconut milk and he said it was one of the best coconut cakes he has ever eaten in his life.

Made the frosting with the white choc pudding, it was awesome. Made cupcakes instead of the cake and they were a big hit!
