My grandmother was a great cook. She was able to make something out of nothing. She lived during the Depression and worked for pennies a day at a lingerie factory. As a widow she raised six children on her own. This must have been a cool treat during the hot New Orleans summer.

1 box white cake mix
8 ounces Cool Whip
8 ounces sour cream
12 ounces frozen coconut
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Bake cake according to instructions on the box in round 8″ cake pans. Split the layers with a string.
Combine ingredients to make the frosting. Frost all layers and sides of the cake. Must be refrigerated.
Frozen coconut tastes better and is less sweet.
Try this also with the sour cream white cake mix.
