Description
This Tom Cruise Coconut Cake recipe offers a surprisingly simple, incredibly moist, and utterly delicious dessert, perfect for busy home cooks wanting a star-studded treat without the gourmet stress. Its rich coconut aroma and tender crumb make it a foolproof choice for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 small box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (15 oz) cream of coconut
- 1 tub (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to ensure clean release.
- Combine Cake Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix on low speed until smooth, about 2 minutes, ensuring no lumps.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared 9×13 inch pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are golden brown.
- Prepare Soaking Liquid: While the cake bakes, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and cream of coconut in a small bowl until fully combined, creating the luscious soaking mixture.
- Poke Warm Cake: As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, use a fork or skewer to generously poke deep and frequent holes all over the warm surface to aid absorption.
- Soak the Cake: Slowly pour the condensed milk mixture evenly over the warm, poked cake. Allow it to sit and absorb for at least 30 minutes, or until completely cool, becoming incredibly moist.
- Frost and Finish: Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the surface. Generously sprinkle with sweetened flaked coconut for a beautiful finish, then serve.
Notes
For best results, use fresh, good quality eggs. A teaspoon of good vanilla extract can enhance flavor. Consider gluten-free or dairy-free swaps as needed. Store covered in the refrigerator.
