Steps

30 mins

1

Prepare cake mix as instructed on box but use a disposable metal pan with lid
2

Once cooked completely let cool for an hour
3

Once cool to touch take a fork and stab the cake all over. Be through and consistent like a grid
4

In a med mixing bowl empty the coconut milk and mix it back into one consistency as it’s canned there will be solids
5

Add in the two other milks once combined add vanilla extract and spices.
6

Pour half over cake. Once absorbed pour leftover into cake try to pour evenly
7

Place lid back on and in fridge let absorb for at least 8 hours overnight is ideal
8

If you cut into cake before it’s fully absorbed it will never absorb correctly as all the milk will move into the empty space in the pan leftover from the piece you removed
9

Serve cold add whip cream if you want or strawberry or banana
For an adult twist you can add rum or even better add coquito
