It is simple!  I do not remember where I received this recipe but I am glad I did! Everyone loves it! Enjoy! 

 

3 Day Coconut Cake

 

1 package white cake mix

16 oz. sour cream

12-14 oz. coconut

1 & 1/2 cups frozen whipped topping

1 cup granulated sugar

1. The night before you want to assemble the cake blend together the sour cream, coconut, and sugar. Remove one cup of the mixture and place in a different container. Refrigerate both portions.
2. Prepare the cake per the directions on the box for 8 or 9 inch round cake pans. Let cool.
3. Using a long serrated knife split both layers to make four layers.
4. On a cake platter, begin assembling the cake. Spread reserved mixture between layers.
5. Mix whipped topping with the 1 cup reserved mixture and frost the top and sides of the cake.
6. Cover tightly and place in the refrigerator. Next is the easy part!
7. DO NOT REMOVE OR EAT OR EVEN PEEK FOR 3 DAYS! The cake needs time to soak up the wonderful flavors and become...delicious!
8. ENJOY! It is the perfect dessert on a hot summer day!
