Bake the cake in the preheated oven for the time indicated on the box, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the filling by combining the sweetened condensed milk and shredded coconut in a bowl. Mix well.
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake, about 1 inch apart.
Pour the filling mixture over the warm cake, spreading it out and gently pressing it into the holes.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream frosting over the top of the cake, covering the coconut filling.
Sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut evenly over the frosting.
