Scratch Pina Colada Cake
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!!

While you read through the ingredients you must be saying to yourself “Hey this is regular ol’ caramel sauce!” Well you will be right, it is. I placed this very easy caramel sauce recipe on here because that whole boil a can of condensed milk doesn’t make any sense to me that is more of a toffee. I might be wrong some may like it that way. But I KNOW FOR A FACT many of you will enjoy this one much more. Try it, it won’t hurt.
