2. Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed for about one minute until the ingredients are well blended.

3. Beat Until Smooth: Increase the mixer speed to medium and continue beating for approximately two minutes, ensuring to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. The batter should be smooth and creamy.

4. Pour and Bake: Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. Cool and Remove: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove them from the pans and let them cool completely before frosting.

6. Prepare Frosting: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue beating until stiff peaks form.

7. Frost the Cake: Place one of the cooled cake layers on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of frosting over the top of the cake layer. Repeat with the second cake layer, then frost the top and sides of the entire cake.

8. Coat with Coconut: Liberally sprinkle the grated coconut over the frosted cake, ensuring to coat the top and sides evenly for a beautiful finish.

9. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake into portions and serve chilled. This delightful Quick Coconut Layer Cake is sure to impress with its irresistible flavor and creamy texture! 🥥✨

Tips:

• For an extra festive touch, tint some of the coconut with food coloring before sprinkling it over the cake. You can also decorate the top with colorful jellybeans for a playful Easter theme.
• Ensure that the cake layers are completely cooled before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
• Store any leftovers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness, as the whipped cream frosting is best kept chilled.
