yes to boxed cake mix! there was a time in my life where i made the birthday cakes for friends' parties. i always used boxed mix and everyone always loved them and asked for the recipe.
and YES to this recipe. and thank you for it. one question: the coconut water that's widely available (i.e. not fresh just spilled out from a coconut coconut water but the stuff in boxes) tastes like garbage sweat to me. is coconut soda exactly what it sounds like, or is it a naturally flavored soda, or seltzer? any favorite brand?
I went to Culinary school specifically for Baking and Pastry. My last semester, my Pastry Chef told us the most reliable cake mix was from a box, she also recommended to always keep a few boxes in case of an emergency even if we decide to have our own shops. My friend I graduated with has her own bakery and to this day keeps emergency box cake mix for whatever reason.
I’m super excited to make this recipe. My Dad is going to request this recipe for the rest of his life I already know it.
I'd rather have someone who is SOBER make this recipe without rum (or use rum extract) rather than not make this cake at all because they can't use rum. Which is why it's listed as optional.
YUM! No shame in cake mix for those of us who are limited in time and energy!
You know how I feel about "wet cake" #NOBUENO. You also know I'm gonna share this recipe! ❤️

To me, rum isn’t optional…

I was being cheeky... that's totally cool
I apologize. It's really hard for me to gauge sarcasm and cheek on the internet, especially with people I don't know.
No problem!
