Father’s Day, Coconut cake, and sweetened condensed milk

Don’t waste your money on sweetened condensed milk.  You can easily make your own.  I just made some for a coconut cake that I am making for hubby for Father’s Day!

Easy Coconut Cream Cake (very good and very moist!)

  • 1 box white cake mix (I used coconut oil when adding oil to the mix)
  • 1 can sweetened cond. Milk
  • 1 can cream of coconut
  • 1 bag coconut flakes ( I did not use whole bag of coconut.  Use at your own discretion.)
  • 1 large container of cool whip
  • (opt.) conf. sugar

-Bake cake, adding ½ bag of coconut flakes. Let cool completely.

-Punch holes with handle of wooden spoon along cake about ½ inch apart

-Mix can of cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk and pour evenly over the top of the cake.

-In same bowl mix entire container of cool whip and rest of coconut flakes. Can also add in confectioners sugar if desired. (better this way in my opinion, it makes a much yummier frosting.)

-Spread evenly over cake. Refrigerate immediately.

How to make sweetened condensed milk:

  • 1 c. instant nonfat dry milk
  • 2/3 c. sugar
  • 1/3 c. boiling water
  • 3 tbsp. butter

Beat all ingredients together. Process in blender until smooth and store in refrigerator. Makes 1 1/4 cups or the equivalent of 1 can.

Another tip:

  • Store your nonfat dry milk in the freezer.  If you don’t use it that often, like myself, it will keep much longer this way.

Some Things do not have an End

I love my family.  There are the only thing on earth you can take with you to eternity.  How important to share the gospel with all of them!  It is exciting to see my grand children, one by one come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.  I look forward to the day when each one of them has been saved through the blood of Jesus Christ and I look forward to that great reunion in heaven.  You can be 100% sure!
