  • 1⅓ cups water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sweetened, shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 F.

  • Optional - in your food processor, whirr the coconut a few time so that the pieces are smaller and not quite so stringy.
  • Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl.
  • Mix or stir for 1-2 minutes until well combined.
  • Pour into prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely on wire racks.

  • (optional) Before frosting crusts, pat outside with shredded coconut (toast if you want to give it a little crunch and color). 

Notes

If you don't have or can't find coconut pudding mix, use a box of vanilla or french vanilla pudding + 1 tsp coconut extract.
