So I'll be your chef today...and I'm warning you...this cake is really easy to make and it's REALLY good. Even Pat, who is not a huge fan of baked goods and is certainly not a fan of shredded coconut...the man RAVED about this cake. Raved. That's huge.
And yes the pictures have been heavily airbrushed...thank you Picnik for your "teeth whitening" and "eye brightening" and "wrinkle wand" and...and...and...just thank you.
Let's get started.
First thing you'll do is mix together a package of devil's food cake mix in an oven proof bowl.
Next beat cream cheese, an egg, and sugar until well blended; spoon into center of batter in bowl.
Now it's ready for the oven. Stick that bad boy in a 350 degree oven for an hour and five minutes. Ish.
And then wa la.
While the cake was cooking we were supposed to make the frosting by combining vanilla pudding mix, powdered sugar, milk, and cool whip and then let it set in the fridge for the duration of the cook time.
I waited...and the frosting was a smidge drippy...but tastey nonetheless. So dumpy your cake onto a plate, you want the round side facing up, and then smear the frosting all over it.
Sprinkle with shredded coconut.
And wa la again.
SO good!

I'm not really a sweets kind of person either ... I usually skip the dessert ... but, I could see myself eating this without hesitation!
That looks good but it takes an hour to bake plus the time to mix it all up. It looks so good though, maybe I'd try it IF I had an oven.
Excuse me, but no one is supposed to look that good while baking a cake, even if you did have to airbrush out some wrinkles or some such shit. You're so perky looking. I don't know if that makes me happy or pisses me off.
Justine :o )
Holy Frickin YUM Mama Kat! I am thinking it should be what's for breakfast right about now!
Look so good...and I don't even llike cake!
i saw this is the latest issue of Kraft magazine that i just recieved. it was taunting me from the cover of the mag. can't wait to make it! justin is not a huge cake or coconut fan either, so hopefully he'll like...but if not, more for me & the kids :)
The Food Network is frequently on the look out for the Next Food Network Star. Winners get a boat load of money and the honor of hosting their own show.
I do believe that I will enter you the next time they have an open casting call. :)
That DOES look tasty. I don't think I have a bowl that is oven proof though, which is good b/c I need to avoid sweets like the plague right now. And you DO look super pretty!
Wrinkle Wand???? *perking up her ears*...where can I get me one of THOSE?
You look too happy to actually be cooking...:)
Kat, I just have to say....I am loving all of your posed smiles in the middle of making a cake. Or do you really smile that much when baking?
If I left off the coconut, my family would love this. No one in my house will touch coconut. :(
That does look good and so easy! Though I think I would cheat and leave off the coconut.. a food I just can't come to eat in large quantities like that.
Mmmm that looks so yummy! How is it that you are so smiley while baking? I hate baking. And where is your pretty apron?
That looks like it was so fun to make and looks really yummy as well!
Thanks for sharing!
Yum!! That looks delicious. No one else in my family likes coconut which means I could have a cake all for me....dangerous! :D
I'm not a fan of coconut either, but that recipe would be great without it!
I saw this in the latest magazine...now I just might have to try it. It looks delicious!!
I don't love coconut either but Man! Does that look tasty! How do you know if your bowl is oven proof?
this looks fabulous. I already went to the store this morning but I am going to have to go again so that I can make this.
And the best part, the only person here who like coconut is me. So I will have the whole thing to myself.
YUM!
Looks awesome!
I was surprised that you found me on facebook! I thought,,"Who the heck is that!?" until I saw the mamakatslosinit somewhere on your profile page! Thanks for being my "friend"!
If I am going to wrap my lips around anything covered in coconut it better be good. :)
Oooooh yummy! My kids would not eat it, but I sooo would. You really could put anything on it you heart desired. But who wouldn't love a giant snowball cake!!!
I don't even like chocolate(freak of nature, what?)& that looks good to me!! Maybe I'll make it for the fam!?
yum!! that sounds and looks SO yummy!! and you look adorable as always! thanks for the recipe links... maybe one day i'll be a good wife and cook...but probably not.
Love the pics! I hope the photographer got to lick the bowl :-)
What? There are people who are not "sweets" people? Where do these individuals come from? :) That caked looked DELISH. Mmmm. I may just have to try that.
wow that looks so damn good!
I am strangely tempted to actually try feeding this to my plethora of children running around hopped up on sugar for dinner. It would probably take less time and effort than a real meal!
And i agree with others - WAYYYY too perky and white-teethy to be cooking!!! but you rock it well!
Looks delicious!
You saved me a piece, right?
thanks for the recipe! It's my fiances' birthday Wednesday, but we're celebrating tomorrow. So, guess what I just stuck in the oven? I hope it looks as yummy as yours did!
Yummy! I love sweets made with Coconut! Thanks for sharing. Visiting from SITS!
Can I just eat the chocolate batter straight from the bowl? Because that looks like the best part to me and it would save so much time and effort. Also, knowing me I'd use a non-oven-proof bowl and then I'd have shards of exploded glass plus cake batter lining my oven like shrapnel. So its really for my own safety that I'd eat straight from the bowl.
I agree with Frannie. I think you have that "X" factor the food network may be looking for. Plus Rachel Ray seriously needs to go...
Mmmm...yummy. You know how they say you shouldn't grocery shop when you're hungry? They should add on a piece about blog hopping while hungry. There should be warnings on the food posts. Or something.
I love to bake, but am not big on sweets myself. This however, has coconut... and I love coconut. I must try this one.
This looked really good. I wanna try it.
This recipe sounds really yummy I think I may just have to snag it and use it sometime.
I loved the pictures that you took to go along with the recipe. Such a great way to prevent boredom from just reading through ingredients and directions.
You look awesome Kat! Love those editing tools!
And the cake....Looks. So. Yum!
Gonna have to try that!
Oh YUM!!! Do you have the exact measurements for the frosting? I'd love to have my kids try making this one for our "fancy dinner" :)
Yum, looks delicious!
My kids would so tear that up! Yum!
OMG that looks so yummy and does look very easy. If I only had a glass oven proof bowl.
OK this cakes looks delicious. I may have to make on tonight. Chocolate and coconut. What could be better? Thanks for posting this. Love the touch up on the photo. I wish someone could touch me up for everyday life.
I was hoping you were going to make this soon! Looks sooo good!
I gotta tell you this cake looks awesome! But the Ravioli Lasagna was VERY VERY yummy. I made it tonight, and the kids loved it!
