CARIBBEAN COCONUT RUM CAKE
My take on those boozy treats that weigh down suitcases returning from Jamaica, this moist cake packs a rum punch. You may wish to card your guests before serving. The longer the rum soaks in, the better-overnight is best. -Jenn Hall, Collingswood, New Jersey

COCONUT RUM CAKE
From Epicurious...Though the presentation of this cake- all white-glazed and topped with undulating ribbons of toasted coconut-will take everyone's breath away, we promise that it will only get better from there. (And the cake's rich, coconutty, rum-nipped flavor will never hint that it was a one-bowl effort.)

Steps:
- Make cake:.
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Lightly butter cake pan and line bottom with a round of parchment paper. Lightly butter parchment, then flour pan.
- Whisk together flour (1 1/4 cups), baking powder, and salt.
- Whisk together whole eggs and yolks, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in flour mixture until combined, then whisk in butter until just combined. Pour into cake pan and rap pan on counter to expel air bubbles.
- Bake until golden brown and cake starts to pull away from side of pan, about 45 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes. (Leave oven on.) Invert cake onto rack (discard parchment) and cool 10 minutes more. Generously brush top and side of warm cake with cream of coconut, allowing it to soak in before brushing on more. Cool completely.
- Make coconut slivers as cake cools:.
- Pierce softest eye of coconut with a small screwdriver, then drain and discard liquid. Bake coconut in a shallow baking pan 15 minutes. (Leave oven on.) Break shell with a hammer, then pry flesh from shell with screwdriver.
- Thinly shave enough coconut with slicer to measure 2 cups and toss with confectioners sugar, then spread in 1 layer on a baking sheet. Bake until just dry but not golden (some tips may color), 5 to 10 minutes. (Shave and bake remaining coconut with more confectioners sugar to serve on the side, or freeze for another use.) Cool coconut completely. (It will crisp as it cools.).
- Make icing:.
- Beat together cream cheese, cream of coconut, rum, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons cream with an electric mixer until smooth, then beat in confectioners sugar. Icing should be smooth and slightly runny; stir in remaining tablespoon cream if necessary.
- Smooth icing over top of cooled cake, allowing some to drip over side, then top with coconut slivers.

Tips:
- For a moist and flavorful cake pop, use a moist and flavorful cake. A good option is to use a box mix and add some extra ingredients, such as coconut extract, rum extract, or chopped nuts.
- To make the cake pops easier to roll, chill the cake batter for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cake pops hold their shape.
- When rolling the cake pops, use your hands to gently press the cake mixture around the lollipop stick. Be careful not to press too hard, or the cake pops will be too dense.
- To get a smooth and even coating of chocolate, dip the cake pops into the melted chocolate and then tap them gently against the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
- To decorate the cake pops, you can use a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes.
