Ooey Gooey Coconut Cake

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure your cake doesn’t stick.
2. Make the Cake Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, melted butter, and 2 eggs. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and smooth. Press this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the cake base.
3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Topping: In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, remaining 2 eggs, powdered sugar, and coconut extract (or shredded coconut, if you’re using that) until smooth and creamy.
4. Assemble the Cake: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake base. Spread it out evenly to cover the entire cake.
5. Bake: Place the cake in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown with a slightly jiggly center. The center will firm up as it cools.
6. Cool & Slice: Let the cake cool completely before slicing into squares. The longer it cools, the more the layers set, making it easier to cut.

Enjoy this rich, sweet, and utterly delicious cake—perfectly balanced with creamy and coconutty goodness! It’s a sure hit for coconut lovers! 🌴🍰
