Decadent Jello Coconut Layer Cake

Ingredients -

1 pack orange supreme cake mix
12 oz prepared whipped topping
1 pack orange jello
¼ cup confectioner's sugar
16 oz sour cream
¼ cup raisins
½ cup brandy
¼ cup desiccated coconut

Preparation:

Soak the raisins in the brandy for 30 minutes. Prepare the orange cake according to the instructions, but adding the raisins to the mixture, and bake it in two round cake pans. Cool it for 15 minutes in the pans then remove and let the cake cool completely on wax paper. Slice each cake in half to get four round layers. Mix together the sour cream, whipped topping, and sugar with a handheld mixer.

Place the first layer of cake on a serving dish and cover with the whipped frosting. Repeat the process with the other cake layers, using the frosting on all the layers except on the top. Mix half the jello powder with boiling water as per the packet directions, poke holes into the cake (but not all the way through) with a chopstick, and gently pour the jello over the cake. Refrigerate for 3 hours.

Mix the rest of the jello powder with the rest of the frosting and use this to cover the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle the cake with the coconut.
