How to Make Tom Cruise Cake:

2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the coconut milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Glaze:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and coconut milk until smooth.
2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
3. Sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut on top of the glaze.

Tips:

• Make sure the cake is completely cool before applying the glaze to prevent it from melting.
• Toast the shredded coconut for extra flavor and a bit of crunch.

Substitutions and Variations:

• Use almond milk or another non-dairy milk if you prefer a dairy-free version.
