When I saw the price tag, I knew I needed to make my own recipe. You guys, it\u2019s seriously so good! I can\u2019t wait for you to try it! <\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong>Prep<\/strong>: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan well with pan spray and set aside. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beat<\/strong>: Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine<\/strong>: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed to make sure everything is evenly incorporated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix:<\/strong> Add the sour cream and both the coconut and vanilla extracts and mix until evenly incorporated.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix: <\/strong>Add the flour mixture, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure it\u2019s all incorporated. Mix at medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until the batter is thick and pale. Fold the white chocolate chips into the batter before spreading the batter evenly in the prepared bundt pan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake:<\/strong> Bake for 60-75 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the center and the cake springs cake when lightly pressed on. Let the Tom Cruise coconut cake cool for at least 30 minutes before inverting it onto a baking rack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped is-style-numbered wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"278032\" alt=\"Overhead shot of dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. \" class=\"wp-image-278032\" title=\"Tom Cruise coconut cake is a dense pound cake with coconut flavor and silky white chocolate throughout.

This will help your bundt cake release cleanly from the pan! Use a paper towel to blot out any pools of spray before adding the batter to the pan. If you don\u2019t have baking spray, you may use regular pan spray and dust the inside of the pan thoroughly with flour, tapping out the excess.<\/li>\n<li><strong>NO Peeking<\/strong>! Try to resist opening the oven door too early to test the doneness fo the cake. This can cause the cake to sink in the middle! Bundt cakes typically take quite a bit of time to bake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toasted Coconut<\/strong>: You can toast the coconut flakes for the outside of the cake if you would like. Spread it out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-7 minutes, stirring every minute or two until toasted to your liking. Let it cool completely before pressing it to the outside of the cake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Side shot of the side of Tom Cruise coconut cake cut. \" class=\"wp-image-277945\" title=\"Tom Cruise coconut cake is a dense pound cake with coconut flavor and silky white chocolate throughout.
