Nothing beats the Summer heat like a nice cool dessert. Of course it doesn’t hurt when it has booze and coconut added to it too. I love these flavors and it makes the cake good down easier without making it feel like a rich heavy cake.

CAKE
1 box devil’s food/dark chocolate cake mix
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
3/4 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup fat-free milk
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup Malibu rum
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13 x 9-inch pan; set aside.
In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs. Pour into pan.
Bake for 35 to 38 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
In large chilled bowl, stir whipping cream, both milks and rum; set aside.
Using a long-tined fork, pierce top of hot cake approximately every half-inch.
Pour whipping cream mixture evenly over hot cake. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until most of the whipping cream mixture is absorbed into the cake.
