My mom adores coconut. She’ll be the first to tell you that desserts with coconut always top her list of favorites, which is why I wanted to make this delicious and simple classic angel flake cake for her this week.

You see, she fell and broke her foot a few days ago (ouch), and I wanted to give her a special pick-me-up. This cool, sweet and creamy cake did the trick!

While this angel flake cake looks incredibly fancy, it’s very easy to make by just doctoring up a yellow cake mix with some JELL-O Coconut Cream Instant Pudding. The frosting is also easy to make and features more JELL-O Instant Pudding and a container of COOL-WHIP.

I love light and fluffy desserts and this classic angel flake cake is perfect for springtime and Easter. in fact, I’m thinking of making a second one to take to a little Easter party I’m attending soon.

The kids even got in on the fun helping me bake this yummy dessert. Kara loved helping me finish the cake with BAKER’S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut.

So. Good. I hope your family enjoys this fun and scrumptious dessert as much as mine did. Stay tuned, I’ll have even more Kraft Foods goodies to share this week thanks to this nice gift basket they sent me.

Sweeten up this spring with easy dessert recipes from Kraft.
