Y’all know I’m no stranger to a sheet cake. In fact, I’ve shared quite a few with you. Buttermilk Chocolate Cake, Easy Caramel Sheet Cake, Best Strawberry Sheet Cake and my Hummingbird Sheet Cake are just a few favorites. The truth is, sheet cakes are so much easier without all that stacking cake business and they taste just as good. Don’t get me wrong, a beautifully decorated layer cake has its place, but you know me … and you know I like easy.

This version takes advantage of a boxed cake mix (gasp) and uses a scaled-down version of the icing for the Coconut Cake that’s in my cookbook. Now, if you’re feeling especially adventurous, you can use a scratch white cake mix recipe and just add in the coconut extract and coconut. But I promise, if you use a boxed mix, no one will know.

The result is this dreamy, tender coconut cake with a delicate frosting that’s not too sweet because of the cream cheese in it. I actually think I prefer this one over the layer cake, but don’t tell anyone. Y’all enjoy.
