*Lemon Coconut Cake*

I made this cake last night. It is so yummy! You can do it as homeade, or semi-homeade, as you like! I didn't have coconut (which I realized after I had started!), so I just decorated the top with sprinkles.

What you need:
-1 box lemon cake mix (or you can use yellow or white, and add lemon curd, lemon extract and other stuff to make it lemony) (or you could do it all from scratch!)
-3 eggs
-1/3 cup veg. oil
-1 and 1/4 cup water
-about 1 tsp. coconut extract
-the zest of 1 lemon
-lemon curd (optional)
-lemon extract (optional)
-frosting of your choice (I used plain white)
-coconut shreds for decoration

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Mix cake mix, eggs, oil, water, coconut extract, and lemon zest (you could add lemon curd/lemon zest if you like, for extra flavor)
3. Pour into cake pan (I used a bundt cake pan) and bake according to directions
4. Let cool completely

5. You can make any kind of frosting/icing you want. To make it extra special, you can add either lemon or coconut extract to it for flavor. Frost cake.
6. Decorate with coconut shreds (or any other topping)
Enjoy!
