Ingredients

  

• 15.25 oz box of yellow cake mix
• ingredients listed on the back of the box
• 1 tsp. of cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg
• 15 oz. can of Coco Lopez Creme of Coconut
• 12 oz. Magnolia Leche evaporated milk
• oz. Magnolia Leche sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg
• 1/4 cup Don Q white rum (any white rum will work) optional
• 3 cups of heavy cream
• 2 tbsp. of powdered sugar
• 1 tsp. of vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup of marshmallow fluff
• 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

 

• Bake the cake according to the instructions, but add to batter: 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg
• Bake the cake at 350 degrees F for 30-33 minutes in a 9×13 size baking dish (or just follow the back of the box for baking time)
• For Coquito: in a blender add: Coco Lopez, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and white rum
• Blend for just a minute to incorporate
• As soon as the cake comes out of the oven while it is warm, poke holes in the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon. Do NOT poke holes all the way through the cake. Poke the holes 3/4 of the way through the cake
• Pour the Coquito all over the cake then pop in the refrigerator for 1 hour
• Let the cake cool in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before adding the whipped topping.
• Whipped topping: In a bowl add 3 cups of heavy cream, 2 tbsp. of powdered sugar, & 1 tsp. of vanilla. Blend with an electric mixer until stiff peaks are formed and it looks like whipped cream! Then, add the marshmallow fluff and blend for another minute.
• Smooth the whipped topping over the cake.
• Sprinkle cinnamon all over the cake.
• Keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve!

Notes

• Do NOT poke holes all the way through the cake. Poke the holes 3/4 of the way through the cake
• Use a 9 x 13 size baking dish
• You can omit the white rum if you are serving to the whole family. Similarly; I’ve added the exact amount of rum I think results in the best flavor, but if you want a little extra holiday spirit you can certainly add more. =-)
