We canβt say weβre totally sure where the name of this dish came from, but weβre pretty sure this Catch a Husband cake could catch just about anyone β itβs just so tasty! Now, this isnβt your typical light and fluffy cake, this is more of a thick and creamy custard of sorts, that you can cut into squares β perfect for feeding a crowd.
We love how coconutty this cake is and the fact that we can achieve a silky smooth custard without having to wrangle with tempering eggs at just the right temperature (read: dealing with a scrambled mess that we have to throw out and then start over). Mix your cake ingredients together and youβre good to go!
