This weeks Sweet Melissa recipe was this delicious coconut cake with Passion fruit filling and was chosen by Karen of Karen's Cookies, Cakes and More.
Have I told you how much I love coconut!!!
I really liked this recipe and will make it again.I did half the recipe for the cake and it was still perfect.It was a yellow cake mix with no coconut and had egg whites folded in to the batter.The fruit filling was made of a passion fruit and the frosting was to die for. It had 1/2 cup of sweetened cream of coconut, cream cheese, confectioners sugar, butter and vanilla. The coconut flakes were then sprinkled on to the sides and because I knew my kids didn't like coconut, I only sprinkled coconut on half and they all loved it.
There was leftover icing and so I kept it and used it for bagels , good idea my oldest daughter thought.
I was really busy this weekend and couldn't post my cake that I made last Wednesday
because of this
band....
and my daughter had her first cheer competetion.
Then my other daughter hurt her foot and took up a good deal of Sunday.
Anyway, I really wanted to post how much I loved this.
