TROPICAL NICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with a double layer of foil leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
• For the mango nice cream: Put the mango, bananas, honey and vanilla in a food processor and process. Hang on, your food processor may jolt in the very beginning! The bananas will look crumbly at first, then gooey and eventually light and creamy, just like ice cream. Stop the food processor frequently to scrape down the sides of the bowl and break up any clumps. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly with an offset spatula and freeze. Rinse and dry the food processor bowl and blade.
• For the strawberry nice cream: Put the strawberries, bananas, honey and vanilla in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy just like the mango nice cream. Spread evenly on top of the mango nice cream with an offset spatula and freeze. Rinse and dry the food processor bowl and blade.
• For the pineapple nice cream: Put the pineapple, bananas, honey and vanilla in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy just like the other two nice cream flavors. Spread evenly with an offset spatula on top of the strawberry nice cream and freeze until completely solid, 8 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve: Let the nice cream cake sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to thaw slightly. Use the foil overhang to lift and remove the cake from the pan. Place upside down on a serving platter so the mango layer is on top.
• Combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Pour over the top of the nice cream cake, spreading and smoothing with an offset spatula to cover the top and so that some of the chocolate drips down the sides. Freeze until the chocolate is hard and set, about 10 minutes. Cut into 1-inch-thick slices.

COCONUT MUG CAKE WITH COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM AND TROPICAL FRUIT

Steps:

• For the coconut cake and tropical fruit salad: Scatter the sweetened flake coconut over a microwave-safe dinner plate and toast in the microwave for 2 minutes. Stir the coconut flakes and microwave until golden, an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
• While the coconut flakes toast, mix together the strawberries, mango, kiwi, honey, lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon of the lime zest in a medium bowl.
• In another medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, beaten egg, vanilla extract, cream of coconut and sour cream thoroughly. Mix in the flour until smooth. Mix in most of the toasted coconut flakes, setting aside 1 tablespoon for garnish.
• Butter two 10-ounce mugs (I keep old butter wrappers in the fridge exactly for this purpose). Lightly dust the bottoms and sides with flour. Split the cake batter evenly between the mugs. Microwave each cake until the center springs back to the touch, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
• For the coconut whipped cream: While the cakes cook, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Add the cream of coconut and whip to stiff peaks.
• Top the cakes with the coconut whipped cream, fruit salad and remaining 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes and 1/4 teaspoon lime zest. Buen provecho!

TROPICAL BREEZE CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheadt oven to 350 degrees and place rack in center of oven. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
• 2. In a food processor fit with a chopping blade put the 1/4 cup flour and the whole dried apricots. Pulse to chop continuing until the apricots are finely chopped but not a paste. If the apricots 'gum-up' add just a touch more flour to coat the pieces (doing this helps the fruit to stay suspended in the batter during baking). Set Aside
• 3. In a large mixing bowl, Mix sugar and butter completely until it is blended well and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the flour, Vanilla extract & baking powder and mix together well. The batter should be thick and cream.
• 4. Using a spatula, gently fold into the batter the chopped apricots and chopped nuts. Do not over mix; when making a pound cake you want it to be dense without a lot of air, if you mix too much you incorporate too much air into the batter.
• 5. spoon the Thick batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing and leveling. Tap the pan a couple times on a counter top to settle the batter.
• 6. Bake in a 350 degree pre-heated oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
• 7. Remove cake from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes.
• 8. Invert cake onto wire rack and while the cake is still hot, spread the cake with about 1/4 to 1/2 of the jar of Apricot spreadable fruit (put the opened jar in the refrigerator for the next day) and then leave the cake to cool completely. When completely cooled cover lightly and allow to sit overnight. Doing this allows the spreadable fruit to be absorbed into the cake.
• 9. In the morning on the day of serving, spread the cake once again with the remaining 1/2 jar of apricot spreadable fruit.
• 10. Spinkle the cake with a good covering of sweetened flaked coconut.
• 11. Cover until serving. Cut into 1/2 or 1 inch wide pieces and serve with a good cup of coffee or tea.
