Can't Always Get What We Want

I want this today:
















It's a Piña Colada cake I made well over a year ago.  Rooth gave me the recipe.  It was soooo good!  I made it myself, then did what I do best with receipes--I lost it.  That was the first (and last) time I ever made whipped cream.  I thought that stuff came from factories.

You can tell from the distribution of the coconut that I planned to share the cake.  I like coconut and toasted coconut, so I devoted sections of the cake to both.  No one else in my family likes either, so I left an entire half of the cake bare.  Half the cake for me, half for the rest of the family.

That's sharing, right???  :D


PS - I kept burning the "toasted" coconut.  What you see in the picture was my 3rd batch.  I gave up after that.

    1. It really is--sweetened condensed milk gets poured over the cake while it's still warm.

    1. It is a great summer dessert. Or winter! :) But since it's refrigerated, I think of it as a summer favorite.

  5. Maybe she'll give you the recipe again. And half a cake for you, the other half for the family sounds pretty reasonable since you made it :).

    1. It is really good. It has some pineapple and pineapple juice in the cake itself and the cake gets covered with sweetened condensed milk before the whipped cream and pineapple are put on top. It's really good.
