TOMMY BAHAMA PINA COLADA CAKE
I found this recipe while I was looking for the Tommy Bahama Fish Taco recipe and thought it sounded fantastic. I found a recipe for white chocolate mousse and prepared it separately, but you can order the swiss white chocolate mousse like they actually use at the Tommy Bahama restaurant (Order Item #90026 at (1-800-34-Swiss) or [email protected]) The amount of white chocolate mousse is approximate. I actually like the cake better on the second day, so I recommend making it and allowing it to sit in the refrigerator overnight before serving if you can!

Steps:
- Bake cake as directed in 2 - 8"″ rounds. Cool. Slice off rounded top level with baking pan and cut each cake into 2 layers (4 cake layers in total).
- Make Mousse according to the directions.
- Whip the heavy cream, and fold into the mousse.
- Generously brush each layer of the cake with dark rum.
- Spread the mousse mix evenly thick on the first layer. Sprinkle with some of the pineapple.
- Top with next cake layer and again, spread with mousse then pineapple. Continue with each layer. The layers of the cake and mousse should be the same height.
- Coat the sides and top with the mousse mix.
- Sprinkle toasted coconut over the finished cake.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve. To serve, cut into 8 pieces and serve at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish. Cabo fish, also known as Pacific cabrilla, is a firm, white fish that stands up well to the bold flavors of blackened seasoning. If you can't find Cabo fish, you can substitute another firm, white fish such as tilapia, cod, or halibut.
- Make sure your fish is fresh. Fresh fish will have a mild, briny smell and firm, opaque flesh. Avoid fish that smells fishy or has soft, discolored flesh.
- Blacken the fish over high heat. This will create a crispy, flavorful crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and tender.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the fish will not cook evenly and will steam instead of blackening.
- Serve the fish immediately. Blackened fish is best served hot off the grill or stovetop. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, and serve it with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Blackened Cabo fish tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering. The combination of blackened fish, tangy slaw, and creamy avocado is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give these blackened Cabo fish tacos a try.
