- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant coconut cream pudding mix
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup whipped topping

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the yellow cake mix according to package instructions using water, oil, and eggs.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the top of the cake.
