Cake is my favorite food!

Hi Emmy! Thank you for sharing this bc I was dying to know more about this cake! I’m looking forward to making this cake! Also, is your oven or convection oven something you use in place of a traditional oven? I’m looking at downsizing & looking for alternatives to baking. Thank you in advance for your advice.

Hi Emmy! Cake release tip... un-mold while the cake is hot. I'm a baker and I let my cakes sit for no longer than 2 min. Knock the side of the pan (with a covered hand) a bit to loosen and flip onto cooling rack "with conviction" as you said, lol! Out of hundreds of cakes, only had a few break. Hope you see this and it helps! - Candace from Cali

My grandmother used to make a white cream coconut cake that was stupid good. It wasn't white chocolate, but she made a marshmallow cream frosting mixed with coconut she shredded herself so it was fresh, not dried out from a bag like typical shredded coconut cakes. That was the cake she made for everyone's birthday and for holidays.

[@bemdederwin1554]

[@therealJamieJoy]

Emmy, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE order a FAMOUS New Orleans cake that is called a Doberge cake!! (pronounced Dough-bearj and in a certain NOLA accent Dough-bash) It has many, many layers; in between each layer is a thin layer of super rich pudding. The outside of the cake has very thin buttercream, then a luscious poured icing. The cakes are kept chilled and served slightly chilled. They are the most popular grown-up birthday cake in the area. The original is from Gambino's Bakery. It was created in 1920 by a woman named Beulah Ledner and bought from her by Gambino's Bakery in the 1940s. The cakes are SO DELICIOUS no one can decide which falvor to get. That's why they serve HALF AND HALF whole cakes!!! Lemon and chocolate are amazing!! One half of each cake cut, put together and trimmed with icing to make it look whole. You HAVE TO try it. I love the half and half cakes but also LOVE the caramel cake just as much. It really is so hard to choose the best one. They have a website that ships (Gambino's bakery) but I'd get the number and phone it in. NOLA still has a toe in the 20th century when it comes to dot coms, so just to be sure -- call in, too! :)

[@sucktheheadsnola]

I agree! I've been wanting her to try a doberge or even a king cake!

[@therealJamieJoy]

@@sucktheheadsnola king cakes are amazing but they vary GREATLY depending upon where you buy them. There are many different styles and types available. It's also pretty much a mortal sin to eat a king cake before January 6th and after Mardi Gras!!! hahahahaa New Orleanians have a certain way of life. Some grocery store bakeries are even better than fancy bakeries. If you ever want any suggestions please LMK. Not all bakeries make king cakes year round.

I reviewed the original All Recipes recipe for this cake and it calls for egg whites which may have been the reason Emmys cake was heavier or gummy. Frequently egg whites are whipped and then folded into the cake batter, allowing for a Lighter cake.

[@erikahand2896]

[@rebeccahill2575]

Yeah, I was just about to comment that hers looks so much prettier!

[@punxie89]

As soon as she pulled hers out it looked SO MUCH better it was almost laughable. I'm assuming since the original was packed with dry ice to keep in cold that it was shipped to her, so maybe it got a bit rushed up in transit. But hers looked phenomenal in comparison

[@Ketutar]

Who doesn't? :-D

[@jenniferrevilla5298]

I think her taste test proved which cake was the better, lol. She never stopped eating the one she had made, 🤗🤗🤗

[@ClanImprobable]

[@michellem9444]

My guess (could be completely wrong) for why the original cake tastes sweeter is that there's melted white chocolate mixed into the batter. That could explain why there's more white chocolate flavor in each bite too, despite the ribbon.

[@marleneg7794]

Melted for sure

Your cake isn't under baked, it's over mixed. It is common when baking pound cakes. Great job though it really does look delicious.

[@karinarey6488]

I was thinking if that was the case too. Sometimes it just happens.

[@glittermytimbers]

It is very very easy to over mix when using an electric mixer. Switch to a spatula when adding the flour and stop as soon as the flour disappears. If you have mix-ins, add them while you can still see a little flour. I have baked for years and these tips seem simple but they make such a difference!

[@Amy-Bo-Bamy]

OMG I laughed so hard when Emmy held it up to the camera and said "It's so floofy!!" 😂

[@lorenefairchild7616]

I made the Tom Cruise cake a few months ago. I chopped up a bar of white chocolate. I noticed that the chunks of white chocolate seemed to turn a golden brown after baking. I guess it caramelized? It didn't affect the flavor. I used my own cream cheese frosting which I felt was better than the frosting recipe that was given for the cake. I used coconut flakes and I toasted them because toasted coconut is so much more delicious than plain shredded coconut (IMHO). I highly recommend toasting the coconut here. Overall it was a delicious cake.

[@prestigeworldwide5239]

Toasted cocoanut! Yes! Maybe I'll try it with some chopped macadamia nuts throughout and pressed into the icing along with the toasted cocoanut flakes, minus almond extract. ✌

[@AMYV3]

Yes!!! Cream cheese icing. 100% 👏👏👏

First of all great review! I share your sentiments about the cakes. My only (slight) push back is that in my opinion its NOT a “Coconut cake” as much as it’s a (bunt) cake topped with Coconut sprinkles

Electric hand mixers are convenient but I tend to mix cake batters by hand to avoid over mixing which results in too much gluten production / gummy, dense cake. Cake still looks yummy though and I will most certainly try out the recipe - thank you!

[@frankb5728]

Her cake was incredibly dense. I personally believe that the impact of overmixing might be overblown. Not to say that it doesn't affect the texture but often times the amount of excess liquid contributes to the density of cakes

[@marianneplumridge9768]

@@frankb5728 I've made this cake twice now. The first one turned out exactly like Emmy's, and the second one I made today, I adjusted the mixing to the bare minimum and it STILL deflated and went gummy. The recipe is faulty. Something like added Baking SODA is missing, maybe, or there is just too much wet ingredients. Sigh. Will keep experimenting...maybe with a different recipe. :-)

[@ReyOfLight]

When I make cake, I butter the pan and use either breadcrumbs or shredded coconut (the tiny, kinda sprinkles sized type shredded coconut) and the cake never sticks! I can imagine that the butter and coconut method would work really well for this cake. When baking the cake, the coconut kinda caramelizes a bit and it is a great flavor addition along with being there to prevent cake from sticking to the pan

[@Verlopil]

I always wondered. Now I won't be tempted to buy it, just to make it. Thank you Emmy!

[@talim4122]

To avoid any problems with cake sticking to the pan (specially that kind of pan) I coat it with butter, it must be cold, you take a piece you make sure to rub the inner surface of the pan so it's well coated (don't use a piece of paper or anything else), after that, take some semolina (like a tablespoon) and let it stick to the butter, it works much better than flour or sugar.

Great idea. Lemon zest definitely sounds nicer than almond extract.

[@juliaconnell]

_nods agreement_ = lemon zest (& juice) is my go-to - whether it's sweet or savory. (often add lemon to things like stir fries, always to chicken stuffing...) we used to have family Easter picnics - and my always (much requested) contribution was white chocolate & raspberry muffins with lemon zest. recipe I adapted from standard muffin mix - creates decent sized tray of muffins, plus another tray of small muffins. given genuine reaction & requests for - with two of my extended family chefs - think they come out ok. other favourite used to make all the time as a child/teen was 'aunt lucy's mistake'. (not my aunty - or even the person whose recipe it was - but _someone's_ aunt lucy had mixed up two cake recipes - one a coconut cake, the other a dense chocolate cake with yoghurt...

I have baked plenty of bundt cakes, and honestly, the secret is using a lot of room temp butter to coat the inside of your mold. You'll definitely need a brush to push butter into all the corners and crevasses, but that should be enough to get it out. Also, don't cool the cake for too long because it will stick to the mold. I also wouldn't use sugar for this. Flour would have been fine, and you could have brushed the cake with simple syrup to get the flour off once it was out of the mold.

If you want cake tonight, stick to your Bundt pan, make sure you grease the pan but as you take your cake out of the oven, put it directly in the in the freezer and let the cake freeze overnight. I used to work in a bakery and that is how we used to always cook our cakes. We will bake them in the oven and then automatically put them in the freezer overnight so that they would come out clean when we pulled them off of the Bundt pans for the cake pans and we did a lot of cakes that were custom sizes. 😊

I thought I would add a little recommendation for those of you making bunny cakes for Easter or any cake I love the Betty Crocker white mountain frosting its so fluff like a meringue which is part of it but makes the bunny cake look even fluffier but that's just a little food for thought Happy Easter to everyone

The homemade recipe just sounds way more delicious, but it was sweet of you to let the original version “take the cake” 🎂

I just butter my bundt pan up REAL good! Like a whole 1/4 lb stick. Works every time !

Emmy's cake looks so much better than the bakery cake!

Tom Hanks just wants the extra two months waiting time for the cake to get there before he dies. He isn't stupid.

That laugh.😊 So stinking cute💓

Emmy, your cake looks awesome. I am a fan of Tom Cruise as an actor, but not a fan of who he is in real life. There are many good movies that Tom Cruise was in, but my favorite also starred two of my other favorite actors, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore. The "You can't handle the truth" scene of Rob Reiner's "A Few Good Men" is epic.

I also enjoy his acting; but pay no attention to his real life. Just like I don't pay attention to my doctor's real life, or my dentist, trash collector, etc. His real life (like everyone else) should be his to live.

I wonder how a version with toasted coconut would turn out.❤❤

[@smtpgirl]

BROWN BUTTER would elevate this recipe along with toasted coconut.

I’ve been making a few Bundt cakes for birthdays recently and finally figured out the perfect way to grease the pan for no sticking is avocado oil spray the inside of the pan and it was absolutely delicious and perfect no sticking released easy!
