Scratch Pina Colada Cake
Posted by caymancake
This is a small recipe as it was originally based on a cupcake recipe I cam across. It bakes into a cake very nicely and doubles and triples easily. One batch will yield a tall 6 cake, a short 8 cake or 12-15 cupcakes. It always gets rave reviews though!
Some useful tips:
- if you are planning to use coconut buttercream, omit the use of the coconut milk/coconut extract.
- this cake pairs really well with a vanilla or rum buttercream and makes a stunning dessert when you add shredded coconut as a garnish.
ENJOY!!Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient 2 2/3 C All Purpose Flour 1 C Softened Butter 1 C Granulated (white) sugar 1 C Coconut milk (do NOT use cream of coconut! Coconut milk can be found in the ethnic food section in your food store.
