Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

nonstick cooking spray

Cake:

½ cup pecans, chopped
½ cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted
1 (15.25 ounce) package butter cake mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant coconut cream pudding mix
4 large eggs
½ cup coconut-flavored rum (such as Malibu®)
½ cup coconut milk beverage (such as Silk®)
½ cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon coconut extract

Glaze:

½ cup butter
½ cup coconut-flavored rum
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
Stir pecans and coconut together. Spread evenly in the prepared Bundt® pan.
Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, rum, coconut milk, coconut oil, and coconut extract in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes, or until well incorporated, about 3 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Set on a wire rack until completely cooled, about 30 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges of pan to loosen cake. Invert carefully onto a serving plate.
While cake is cooling make glaze. Combine butter, rum, sugar, brown sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes.
Using a skewer, poke holes throughout cake. Carefully spoon glaze over cake.

Leg of Lamb with Raspberry Sauce

This is an very simple recipe if you want to do something a bit different and unusual with a boneless leg of lamb. A boneless leg of lamb is marinated, then roasted and served with a tangy raspberry sauce.

Air Fryer Apple Crumble

An easy recipe with a delicious golden brown crumble. The best part is you don't have to heat up the kitchen or tie up your oven because this crumble is air fried instead of baked. We love this served warm with a scoop of ice cream.

Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken

This brown stew chicken is delicious served over steamed rice with green peas, garnished with fresh thyme. I've wanted to make this for a while since I love braised or stewed chicken recipes, especially ones with similar ingredients as jerk chicken. While I might make a few adjustments next time, this came out amazingly well.

Incredibly Delicious Italian Cream Cake

This Italian cream cake is my aunt's recipe. It is both famous and infamous in our family. It's absolutely irresistible!

No-Knead Focaccia

I was very excited to try this no-knead focaccia recipe which makes a dough with a lot of water. In fact, this has the highest amount of water used than any other Food Wishes dough. It holds big bubbles in the baked dough and because of the long fermentation time, has a far superior flavor.
