PINA COLADA CUSTARD CAKE

Steps:

• 1. At least 2 hours ahead, or the day before, make the custard filling. Make sure it is chilled well. You can speed this up by chilling in a bowl over ice water.
• 2. To make the custard, place all the custard ingredients, except the coconut and the almond extract in a medium heavy bottomed sauce pan. Whisk to blend well. Place pan over med/lo heat and whisk constantly until it starts to thicken. At this point, do an on burner off burner technique, whisking constantly for about 2 minutes more until well thickened. Do not boil, as the egg yolk will scramble.
• 3. Immediately transfer the thickened custard to a bowl and stir in the almond extract and coconut. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Place in fridge to thoroughly chill.
• 4. Prepare the cake as directed on the box in (2) 8 inch pans. Cool on rack 10-15 minutes, then invert on to rack to cool completely. While warm, brush the layers with the 4 tsp white rum.
