Catch a husband cake
We can’t say we’re totally sure where the name of this dish came from, but we’re pretty sure this Catch a Husband cake could catch just about anyone – it’s just so tasty! Now, this isn’t your typical light and fluffy cake, this is more of a thick and creamy custard of sorts, that you can cut into squares – perfect for feeding a crowd.
We love how coconutty this cake is and the fact that we can achieve a silky smooth custard without having to wrangle with tempering eggs at just the right temperature (read: dealing with a scrambled mess that we have to throw out and then start over). Mix your cake ingredients together and you’re good to go!
