Coconut Cream Cake

A few weeks ago, we were invited to a get-together at a friends house.  Of course we offered to bring something, and of course I was secretly hoping to bring a dessert, but we got assigned to bring a fruit salad instead.  Was I disappointed?  A little, but that quickly vanished with the first bite of this delicious cake.  Now I'm glad that I didn't bring a dessert because I have a great new recipe to add to the collection!  Every bite is moist and coconutty.  Delicious!  I did make one small little change to the recipe and that was to toast the coconut, but it's great whichever way you choose to make it.







Coconut Cream Cake
from Rachel Loser


1 white cake mix w/ pudding
3/4 cup flaked sweetened coconut
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk (can use fat free)
1 tsp. coconut extract
1 1/2 c. frozen whipped topping, thawed

Prepare cake according to directions, omit oil, adding 6 TBSP coconut.  Pour batter into a 9 x 13 greased pan.  Bake 28 min. or until toothpick comes out clean.  Let cook in pan 10 minutes.  Punch holes in the top of the cake with a wooden pick.  Combine the sweetened condensed milk and the extract; stir well.  Pour 1/2 cup of the condensed milk mixture over the cake, spreading in.  Let stand 2-3 minutes.  Punch more holes and pour the remaining milk mixture over the cake, spreading in.  Let cake cool completely.  Spread whipped cream over cake.  Sprinkle with the remaining 6 TBSP coconut (toasted if desired).  Cover and chill for at least 4 hours.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!

Pumpkin Spice Donuts

I love this time of year when the temperature drops and it's perfectly acceptable to make and eat all kinds of pumpkin things! I've been meaning to try my hand at cake donuts for sometime now and these pumpkin ones were calling my name.  Unlike yeast donuts that require a few rises and fry up nice and fluffy, these cake donuts come together pretty quickly (with a small chilling period) and are more dense and moist in texture. The outside gets all craggy and crispy which is perfect for collecting all the sugary glaze.  Such a delicious combo of textures and perfectly flavored with pumpkin and spices.  We loved these!! Note: I tried making a few of these in the air fryer as an experiment and was amazed at the difference in texture.  Not in a good way.  The air fryer ones were much tougher and not craggy and crispy.  So stick with frying these in oil and you won't be disappointed.
