Cheaters Sometimes Prosper

When you're short on time and big on impressing, boy, do I have a cake for you. Due to it's embarassing nature, I took no photos...but I can promise it looked good!

It started with an idea to throw a baby shower, and ended with all attendants raving about the cake. Most times I would be happy to share the recipe, proud of my creation and feeling slightly puffy in the chest. This time however, was a bit different. Why? Because it started with an .89 cent box of Betty Crocker cake mix and a $1.99 can of "Fluffy White".

To my defense, life is kind of chaotic. Siggy just hit the ten month mark, I went back to work full time, and trying to find a balance between Motherhood, working gal, wife and just Wendy, is...well, it's a bitch. So, buying box never seemed so right or so wrong. Solution....? Take a look.


Needs:
2 boxes of Yellow, Super Moist cake mix
1 cup melted Coconut Oil
2 cups Guava Juice
6 Eggs

2 cans Fluffy White Frosting
1/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk
1 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
1/4 cup Confections Sugar
1/2 cup Plain Turkish Yogurt

To Do:
Follow cake box directions, using coconut oil in place of vegetable oil and replacing the water with guava juice. Bake accordingly in four greased 9" rounds.

In the meantime, whisk frosting, coconut milk, coconut flakes, sugar and yogurt. The frosting is a bit more runny than your average, but that's ok. After mixing well, cover and refridgerate until ready for use.

Note: Make sure cake is completely cooled before frosting. And Voila. You have an easy peasy slightly sleazy, guava cake with coconut cream frosting.
