Method:

Put all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Beat it on the low speed of a mixer, scraping the sides of the bowl constantly, till well combined. Beat on high speed, for approximately 3 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, in two 8-inch, floured and greased baking pans.

When completely cooled off, split layers, making 4 layers. Combine sugar, sour cream and coconut, blending it well. Then chill. Reserve 1 cup of the sour cream mixture. Spread the remainder between layers of cake. Combine the reserved 1-cup with the whipped topping. Blend until smooth. Spread on top and sides of cake. Seal cake in airtight container and refrigerate 3 days before serving.
