Ingredients
  

For Cake Base:

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Pudding Layer:

  • 2 packs pistachio instant pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • ½ cup shredded coconut

For Topping:

  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • ¼ cup chopped pistachios
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cake Batter

  • In a large bowl, add cake mix, coconut milk, oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Do not overmix. The batter should look creamy and light.

Bake the Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour batter into a greased baking pan. Bake for 28–30 minutes. Check with a toothpick to ensure it is fully cooked.

Cool the Cake

  • Remove cake from oven and let it cool completely. This step is important. A warm cake can melt the pudding layer later.

Make Pistachio Pudding

  • In another bowl, whisk pistachio pudding mix with cold milk. Stir for 2–3 minutes until thick. Let it sit for a few minutes to set properly.

Add Coconut to Pudding

  • Mix shredded coconut into the prepared pudding. Stir gently so everything combines well. This adds extra texture and tropical flavor.

Layer the Cake

  • Spread pudding mixture evenly over cooled cake. Use a spatula for smooth layering. Make sure every corner is covered properly.

Add Whipped Topping

  • Spread whipped cream over the pudding layer. Smooth it gently. This makes the cake creamy and soft on top.

Decorate the Cake

  • Sprinkle chopped pistachios and coconut on top. This adds crunch and makes the cake look beautiful and festive.

Chill Before Serving

  • Place cake in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This helps layers set and improves flavor. Serve cold for best taste.

Notes

  • Use cold milk for pudding mix
  • Let cake cool fully before layering
  • Do not overmix cake batter
  • Chill cake for better texture
  • Use fresh coconut for stronger flavor
  • Add extra pistachios for crunch
