COCONUT LIME CAKE

There were different variations on this recipe. I chose the one that sounded the best to me. Okay, so I like lime and lemon curd and wanted to try it with that.

Lime Curd for filling (to reduce tartness you can add some sugar or one member suggested pudding).
Plain or Coconut flavored buttercream or whipped cream icing
Shredded Coconut for the top of cake or for the whole cake

Berecca's CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE (taken from Cakecentral.com)


Duncan Hines Swiss Chocolate Cake mix (this mix was found at Target)
4 eggs
1 1/4 c. water
1/4 c. oil
1/2 c. Adam's crunchy peanut butter (or creamy if you don't want nuts)
1/4 cup gran. sugar
1 small chocolate instant pudding mix

Preheat oven to 325. Grease 2 - 8" pans. Mix all ingredients until well blended. Pour into pans. Bake for 30 minutes. Check with toothpick. Bake for additional minutes if necessary until toothpick comes out with soft crumbs.

The frosting I use with this cake is the recipe on the back of the Hershey's cocoa box. I would post it, but I don't think I can because it's not my recipe... anyway, it's really good. I just thinned it down a tiny bit to be able to spread it and pipe with it.

For the filling, I just used some of the Hershey's frosting and added a scoop of peanut butter and a little milk to thin it down just a bit. I also added a little bit of powdered sugar to help sweeten it with the peanut butter. Sorry I don't have more precise measurements - I was just experimenting and it turned out really well!

Enjoy!
