You Pick!

I'm letting YOU decide which cupcakes I'm going to make next.  Black Bottom or Beehive?  The Black Bottom Cupcakes are a ying and yang of chocolate and cream cheese with morsels of chopped chocolate mixed in.  They're sometimes served with a cream cheese frosting or left plain.  The Beehive Cupcakes are a honey-lemon cupcake with white chocolate cream cheese frosting. **Disclaimer** My cupcakes may not look like the perfectly gorgeous cupcakes pictured above!

Sweet Coconut Cake

Once again, this is not cupcake related, but it was SO good I had to share! Our office Mom, Susan Long, is at it again.  This time she made Sweet Coconut Cake.  It was to die for!  She is always making something sinful (like her Pineapple Cake and her Butterfinger Cake), but this has to be one of my favorites.  Not only is it SUPER easy, it also has coconut and sweetened condensed milk in it.  It's SO coconutty and moist I could almost throw it in a glass with a straw and a little umbrella!  I guess when she bakes something from now on, she will be a regular contributor to my blog. She just doesn't know that yet. :)  Give the recipe a try and let me know what you think.  I'll let her know you <3 it as much as I do!

Ingredients:
1 box of white cake mix
1 can coconut milk (in ethnic section of grocery store)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 8 oz container of Cool Whip
1 bag of sweetened coconut (you can use as much or as little as you like!)

Directions:
Bake the white cake in a 9 x 13 according to directions. When done, poke holes in the top of the cake with a cake tester, toothpick, etc. (some people use their forks). Just make a lot of holes for the next part to be able to soak into.

Combine the condensed and coconut milks and pour over the cake. Sometimes I don’t use all of it but most of it. It looks like it’s swimming, but it will soak it up.

After everything is cooled, spread cool whip on top and sprinkle with coconut.

Tada!!!!

Keep in refrigerator.
