Queen Elizabeth Cake (with Dates and Coconut)
I tried this cake at the Boulangerie Le Pain dans les Voiles in Montréal and liked its combination of dates and coconut. Apparently it was named after the Queen of Canada, Elizabeth II, and probably created in 1953 to celebrate her coronation. Or was it invented in 1937 for the coronation of King George VI and named after his wife, Queen Elizabeth? Regardless of its origin, the cake is delicious.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Butter the insides of a 9-in x 13-in rectangular Pyrex baking dish. Line it with parchment paper. Butter and flour the paper, bottom and sides.
- 2
In a saucepan, bring the water, dates and baking soda to a boil. Simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
- 3
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- 4
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180 C).
- 5
In another bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- 6
With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients, alternating with the date mixture. Pour into the pan.
- 7
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, 23minutes. Remove from the oven. Place the pan on a baking sheet to catch any icing that might spill over. Set the oven to broil (regular broil, not maximum broil).
- 8
Meanwhile in a saucepan, heat up butter and cream, then add rest of frosting ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 2 minutes.
- 9
Spread the frosting on the hot cake and broil until golden brown, just 2 minutes. Let it cool before slicing and serving.

Coconut Cake Coconut Cake
I cheated, and used a can of frosting because I'm too lazy to learn how to make real frosting. Remember to double the ingredients if you're making two cakes. The cake recipe calls for simple ingredients, and that's why I love it. :) Enjoy if you do try it!

Hawaiian Coconut Cake Hawaiian Coconut Cake
I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon and ate a really delicious coconut cake in the cafe of the hotel. I made it at home for my own 27th birthday!Since coconut milk is on the oily side, I wanted to try making this cake without adding any oil. When adding the coconut milk into the batter, feel free to add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, if you like. Recipe by Gakkoiburi

Holiday Coconut Rum Cake Holiday Coconut Rum Cake
This cake is so moist and delicious. If you want it not to have the alcohol, use extracts instead. You can also add the rum to the sauce while cooking it to evaporate the alcohol but leave the flavor. Great at parties, dinners or anytime. Just remember if you use alcohol and dont cook it, DO NOT serve this to children! It will still have alcohol content. #12plates #cakes
