Hi guys! So it’s official, I am finished with ER and I’m about to start my elective rotation on Monday. Eeeep! I am only a little bit excited To celebrate, I am sharing this fabulous Toasted Coconut Rum Cake, which will basically make all your dreams come true. It’s got coconut oil and coconut rum and coconut extract and shredded toasted coconut so I mean – if you’re a coconut lover like me, this is basically heaven. This dense cake is good all by itself, but add that buttery rum syrup on top and it’s a whole ‘other level. YUM.
The inspiration for this toasted coconut rum cake came from my cruise! Who knew that the Cayman Islands were famous for their rum and rum cakes?! I went to a little shop that sold rum cake and I kid you not, they had basically every flavor you could imagine. Marble cake and banana and pina colada and rum-raisin and, oh yeah, coconut. One sample and I was hooked! My homemade version isn’t quite like theirs, as I can’t figure out how they 1, got so much rum flavor in it and 2, got it to be so pillowy soft and light, but… well, it’s still pretty great, okay. If you can’t hop on the next plane to the Cayman Islands, this is the next best thing.
