Tips & Substitutions
For a more decadent flavor, consider adding a splash of coconut extract to the cake mix before baking. If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute low-fat milk and a whipped topping alternative for the Cool Whip. Ensure the cake is completely cooled before poking holes; this will help the milk soak in evenly for better flavor absorption.
