Recipe Box, Rose Topped Coconut Poke Bundt Cake
I’m not exactly sure where I will be for Mother’s Day this year so I decided to get myself a few flowers and bake a little cake,
you know, just to indulge myself a little take the pressure off my children…
They will be chasing after their own children…
So I created a little Mother’s Day insurance for myself in case I can’t be with them
Flowers are very theraputic
and cake, well, cake just about fixes everything…
Especially when it’s glazed with Creme of Coconut
and topped with flowers
This might be the easiest cake I’ve ever made
If you don’t want to use coconut milk, use buttermilk or milk
As soon as it’s done, poke it all over with a long skewer and slowly pour cream of coconut all over warm cake
Let it cool for 2-3 hours to absorb the liquid
Pour a little more cream of coconut over top, letting it drip down the outside of cake, but not into the center if you’re going to fill it with flowers
Sprinkle top and bottom with coconut
Make a small nosegay {bouquet} of flowers, cutting stems short enough so the flowers will seem to lay on top of the cake, and secure with a rubber band. Cut down a plastic baggie to cover stems and add a scant amount of water. Secure tightly with another band.
Whether you’re Running for the Roses, Celebrating Mother’s Day, or having a Fiesta, this simple cake is perfect for May!
Coconut Poke Bundt Cake
Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 1 box coconut creme or vanilla pudding mix*
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup coconut milk buttermilk or milk
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- Cream of Coconut
- Sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except cream of coconut and coconut flakes into mixing bowl and beat to combine. Scrap down sides of bowl or mixer and continue beating for several minutes.
- Pour into a prepared bundt pan and bake according to cake mix directions, checking 5 minutes before the end of baking time.
- As soon as cake is set, remove from oven and poke all over with a long skewer. Slowly drizzle coconut cream all over warm cake. Let cake cool completely on wire rack, 2-3 hours, until coconut cream has been absorbed.
- Turn cake out onto a piece of parchment paper and place on serving plate or cake stand. Trim paper so it’s not visible. The paper is optional, but it makes it easy to lift and move the cake with a spatula if necessary.
- Carefully drizzle more cream of coconut over cake, letting it run down the outside but not into the center. Sprinkle top and bottom liberally with coconut flakes.
- Place small bouquet of flowers in center for serving if desired
Notes
Drizzle cake slices with coconut creme before serving if desired
This recipe is a piece of cake!
