Coconut Cake

2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 pkg instant coconut pudding mix (if you can't find this, then use a vanilla pudding mix and instead of a tsp of vanilla, use a tsp of coconut extract)
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 cups flaked coconut

Grease a 9x13 pan.  Blend everything together and then add the coconut and pour into the pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 min

Frosting:
1 cup butter
5 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup cream of coconut
1/2 tsp coconut extract
toasted coconut (as desired, can use it as a garnish or mix in)

Beat butter, then add powdered sugar and cream of coconut--sometimes the cream of coconut will separate so be sure to blend it before adding it to the frosting.  Then add the coconut flakes.
