I wanted to share a wonderful time of year in our family: New Year’s Eve dinner and dessert. This year, I wanted to try a new dessert other than fruitcake (which I love).
Diana Cosby, a sister ROMVET author, shared her Pina Colada Cake Recipe with me. Well! Wouldn’t you know? I had to go out and try the recipe! I took the photo of the cake I baked tonight. And it was incredibly good!
I owe Diana big time on this one! Check out her web site at www.dianacosby.com. She has “His Captive”/Alexander MacGruder and “His Woman”/Duncan MacGruder (which got 4 stars from Romantic Times reviews)
I asked Diana where she got this recipe and she said it came from Spain. I love pina coladas as a drink--never had one as a cake, so my curiosity was high on this recipe. Check out the photo of the cake I made!
Here’s the recipe:
PINA COLADA CAKE RECIPE
1 package white cake mix
1 package (4 oz) of instant coconut cream pudding
1/2 cup of water
1/3 cup of Rum
4 eggs
1/4 cut lite olive oil
Directions: Mix the above ingredients and beat until combined. Pour into two greased/floured 9 inch round cake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Once cool, remove and frost with the Pina Colada frosting (see below).
PINA COLADA FROSTING
1 8 oz carton of Cool Whip OR 1 pint of whipping cream
1 4 oz package instant coconut cream pudding
1 8 oz can of crushed pineapple
1/3 cup of Rum
Directions: blend pudding, pineapple and rum together. Then, mix into the whipping cream or Cool Whip. Chill until served.
And here is the result of my making the cake! It is as delicious as my pictures illustrates. Yum!
