Catch a Husband Cake is a moist, sweet, and creamy bundt cake made with a blend of sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and whole milk. This tropical-inspired dessert is richly flavored with vanilla and coconut, baked in a water bath to maintain its delicate texture, then chilled and garnished with shredded coconut for an irresistible finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

For Garnish

  • Shredded coconut (amount as desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a bundt pan to prevent sticking and ensure an even bake.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, whole milk, eggs, all-purpose flour, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Blend or whisk together until the batter is completely smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Prepare Water Bath and Pour Batter: Pour the smooth batter into the prepared bundt pan. Place the pan into a larger baking dish or roasting pan and fill that outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the bundt pan to create a water bath, which ensures gentle, even baking and prevents cracking.
  4. Bake the Cake: Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the water bath and allow it to cool in the bundt pan for about 15 minutes to let it set slightly.
  6. Refrigerate: After cooling, transfer the cake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours. Chilling helps the cake firm up and develop its signature texture and flavors.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the cake with shredded coconut for an added tropical touch. Serve chilled for best results.

Notes

  • Make sure to use a water bath for baking to keep the cake moist and prevent cracking.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before blending for better texture.
  • For a more intense coconut flavor, lightly toast the shredded coconut before garnishing.
  • This cake is best served chilled but should be brought to room temperature if eaten after extended refrigeration for softer texture.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
