Caramel Coconut Bundt Cake with Chocolate Drizzle

It’s Girl Scout Cookie time! Have you bought your fill yet? As a leader for my daughter’s troop, my dining room if currently filled with temptation cookies. The decadent Samoas are my all time favorite. Since I did not want to dive head first into a box of cookies, I decided to use my Caramel Coconut coffee creamer for some inspiration and pull those same flavors into a new bundt cake. What resulted was a subtle flavored but deliciously dense Caramel Coconut Bundt Cake with Chocolate Drizzle.

During the snow storm 2 weeks ago I ran out of flour. I know! What food blogger does that? Anyway, when I finally had flour in the house to bake my bundt, I didn’t have any whole milk. I decided to improvise and put my creativity to the test.

I love sweet coffee, so knowing this flavored  creamer is pretty sweet, I wanted to decrease the sugar in the recipe. Decreasing the sugar meant increasing an alternate liquid, but I didn’t want to increase the amount of creamer being substituted for the whole milk. I decided to increase the butter and cross my fingers.

The cake baked to a gorgeous golden brown and turned out of the pan easily. I almost didn’t want to cover the lovely details the pan created, but to follow through with my Samoa vision, it was a must. I melted some milk chocolate, drizzled it over the cake, and then dusted the entire top with toasted coconut flakes. The cake smelled amazing, so I said a little prayer it tasted amazing as well and packed it up to take to the office in the morning.

The Caramel Coconut Bundt Cake with Chocolate Drizzle was a complete success. My coworkers devoured the cake in a single afternoon. I am definitely going to continue to use Girl Scout cookies in future bundt cakes. The flavors are too good not to incorporate them into cake form.
