Yield 1 cake serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 Duncan Hines Butter recipe cake mix
2 cups sour cream
8 oz. Frozen Whipped Topping(thawed)
2 cups flaked coconut
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare the Duncan Hines Cake Mix according to package instructions in 2 9" cake pans. Cool 10 minutes and remove fron the pans to cool on a rack. In a bowl, mix the coconut and sour cream, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Spread half on the bottom layer cake. Mix the remainder with the thawed whipped topping and frost the outside of the cake and sides. Refrigerate at least 8 hours. Serves 8.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start mixing, measure out and prep all of your ingredients. This will ensure that you have everything you need and that the ingredients are ready to use.
  • Sift Your Flour: Sifting your flour aerates it, which results in a lighter and fluffier cake. If you don't have a sifter, you can whisk the flour vigorously with a fork to achieve the same effect.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter until the wet and dry ingredients are just combined; overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour and make the cake tough.
  • Let the Batter Rest: Allow the batter to rest for at least 15 minutes before baking. This resting time allows the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in a more tender cake.
  • Use a Bundt Pan: Bundt pans are ideal for baking Patience Cake because they allow the cake to rise evenly and produce a beautiful, decorative crust.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the cake at the specified temperature in the recipe. Baking at too high a temperature will cause the cake to brown too quickly and the inside may remain undercooked. Baking at too low a temperature will result in a cake that is dense and gummy.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, bake the cake for a few more minutes and check again.
  • Let the Cake Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing or serving. This will help the cake set and make it easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Patience Cake is a classic Southern dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, lemony glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your Patience Cake turns out perfectly. Happy baking!
