Directions:
Combine eggs, sour cream vanilla, water and milk. Mix until blended well. Add cake mix and pudding. Mix till smooth.

Pour into two well greased and floured 9 inch round pans. Sprinkle a little coconut on top of cakes, if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Invert onto cooling rack.

Chill until serving. Remove about 30 minutes before serving for best results. Store covered in refrigerator.

TIPS: I like to freeze my cakes over night. I take them out and let sit at room temperature while I make the frosting. I find it easier to frost the cakes when I do this.

This cake is even better the second day.
