Banana Coconut Cream CAKE!

Super Yummy cake topped with toasted coconuts and almonds! cant go wrong with this one.
Sorry no pic of this one. Lost it someplace and cant find it which means i more than likely deleted it off my camera...hahaha

1 white box cake mix
plus ingredients to make the cake

16 oz heavy whipping cream (can use cool whip but home made is so much better)
1tsp coconut extract (vanilla is fine if that's all you have don't run to the store on extract run if you don't need to)
2T powder sugar

2 c coconut
1/2 c whole almonds

1 box banana pudding
plus milk to make pudding

make cake as directed on box. fill into two round cake pans and bake as directed.
prepare pudding as directed for NORMAL pudding. set aside in FRIDGE until cake is cooled.

chop almonds and toast with coconut. set aside.

whip heavy whipping cream on high with extract and powder sugar until stiff peaks form. set aside in fridge.

place cake on serving platter. gently fold in 1/2 cup whip cream. spread 1/2 mixture on one cake (top half) place the other cake on top of the cake. top the cake with the reaming pudding mixture. spread the reaming whip cream on sides and pipe some along the top edge (this will look pretty but help hold the almonds and coconut in)
in center of pudding mixture sprinkle with your coconut and almond mixture.

ENJOY!!
