Entry for Great Native American Cook-Off

Recently, I made dinner for a friend of mine who was "under the weather". She enjoyed the food immensely, and asked if she could get the recipes for some of the dishes. Two of them are listed below. These are very quick and easy recipes, and are variations on "boxed" mixes. Hope that you enjoy them as much as I have.

Coconut Cake

1 box cake mix (yellow or lemon)
Prepared according to instructions and baked.
Remove from oven
While still hot, poke holes in cake with toothpick.
Pour 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (Eagle Brand or other)
and 1 can Coconut Milk
over top of cake and allow it to cool.

Then, ice cooled cake with Cool Whip topping.
Garnish with coconut.

Refrigerate. (Cake is best if it sits overnight).
