Catch a Husband Cake is a moist and luscious cake made with a delightful blend of condensed milk, evaporated milk, and coconut milk, enriched with eggs and butter. Baked to perfection, this cake is topped with a rich coconut icing that soaks into the cake, creating a tropical, sweet treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

For the Icing:

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or a deep cake pan to prevent the cake from sticking during baking.
  2. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, coconut milk, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Blend all ingredients until you get a smooth, homogeneous batter.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the blended batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean when the cake is fully baked.
  4. Prepare the Icing: While the cake is baking, prepare the icing. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk and sugar. Stir constantly and bring the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded sweetened coconut until well combined.
  5. Cool and Serve: After baking, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate. Pour the warm coconut icing over the cake, allowing it to soak in and add moisture. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake pan is well greased and floured to avoid sticking.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the best flavor and texture in both cake and icing.
  • You can substitute shredded sweetened coconut with unsweetened if you prefer less sweetness in the icing.
  • Allowing the icing to soak into the cake enhances the moistness—do not skip this step.
  • This cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee for an afternoon treat.
