Ingredients

Cake

  • 4 Eggs Large
  • ½ cup Butter Unsalted, Melted
  • 1 cup Milk Whole
  • 1 box Yellow cake mix
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Shredded, Sweetened or unsweetened

Crunch topping

  • 2 tablespoon Desiccated coconut Sweetened or unsweetened
  • Butter For greasing pan

Glaze

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, butter, milk and mix until smooth.
  • Add cake mix and coconut and mix until just combined. 
  • Prepare cake pan with crunch topping: Grease a 10-12 cup nonstick bundt pan generously with butter. Sprinkle coconut and tap it around until the bottom and sides are fully coated. 
    Tip: Use a simple bundt pan with smooth sides without any designs because that makes it easier to remove the baked cake. 
  • Pour batter in this prepared pan. 
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool down and then, remove it from pan. You may have to run a knife around the pan to help loosen it. Place it on a cake stand, bottom side facing up and top side facing down. 
  • While the cake is cooling, make the glaze by mixing together together powdered sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract and lemon extract until thick, smooth and creamy. 
  • Drizzle glaze over cooled cake and sprinkle more desiccated coconut. Let the icing harden (takes about 20 minutes) before serving. Enjoy!
