Coconut Sour Cream Cake

Recipe Description

I’ve made this delicious Coconut Sour Cream Cake as easy as possible for you! There are times when I’m in the mood for full-on, from-scratch baking…and there are times when it’s ok to cut a few corners and still get the same tasty result!

Here, I use a white cake mix to make the cake layers and a packet of ready-made frosting. You can even use a pack of frozen frosting, but just make sure it’s fully thawed before you start working with it. I just add some extra ingredients to jazz it up a little! Almond extract in the cake mix gives a delicious flavor to the crumb, and sour cream and coconut make the frosting even more creamy and delicious!

All-in-all making this cake an easy and scrumptious bake!

To make the Coconut Sour Cream Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
