Hello there,
I looked in my recipes and found that a Sour Cream Coconut cake is made and has about same ingredients as a Wet Coconut Cake. The other ingredients will vary a little even with the same amount of cake. Its looks to me to be the same cake with two different names. I'm posting several recipes that I have. I hope this is of some help..
WET COCONUT CAKE
1 box yellow cake mix
2 cups sugar
12 oz. frozen coconut, thawed
1 (16 oz.) sour cream
Bake cake mix in 2 layers. Chill and split layers.
Mix sugar, coconut, and sour cream and let stand. Reserve one cup. Spread the rest between the layers of cake.
Add the reserved 1 cup to 1 carton Cool Whip. Frost cake with this mixture. Refrigerate overnight.
WET COCONUT CAKE
1 (12 oz.) pkg. frozen coconut
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
8 oz. sour cream
1 large container Cool Whip
1 box Duncan Hines butter cake mix
Mix coconut, powdered sugar and sour cream. Set in refrigerator.
Bake a 2 layer cake according to package directions. Cool completely.
Split 2 layers into 4 layers. Put filling between layers, but not on top. Cover completely with Cool Whip. Let set in refrigerator for 24 hours in a tightly sealed container
COCONUT SOUR CREAM CAKE

Reserve 1 cup. Spread coconut mixture on layer half.
Place layer half on top and spread on coconut mixture;
repeat with remaining layer halves.
