The night before making the cake, combine sugar, sour cream and coconut. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, prepare the cake mix according to package directions for two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans. Let cool completely. Split each layer into two for a total of 4 cake layers.
Remove the sour cream coconut mixture from the refrigerator. Remove 1 cup of the mixture and set aside.
Spread remaining sour cream coconut mixture in between the cake layers.
Blend the Cool Whip and 1 cup of reserved sour cream coconut mixture together. Frost cake with this mixture.
Place cake in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
