Orange Coconut Cake

I recieved this recipe from a friend who got it from someone else. My husband hates coconut and he ate the whole cake before I even got a piece. This cake is very easy and very moist. I have not made it for anyone yet that hasn’t liked it. Anytime we have a gathering I am asked to bring this cake. Enjoy.

What is 1 can of coconut? What size can? Is this coconut water, coconut milk, or shredded coconut? I'm sure it's a good cake, but I can't make it without knowing what the ingredients are. Thanks.

I have made twice the Duncan Hines butter recipe and is has shrinked and made a hole in the center of the cake I don´´t know what could have happened and I am following exactly the directions of the cake box. I have made this cake before and it was perfect and delicious but two last times was awful. Please does anyone knows what could have happened???
