Samoa Bundt Cake – The Girl Scouts have nothing on us. Try this giant Samoa treat!
Origin
A Bundt cake is a cake that is baked in a Bundt pan, shaping it into a distinctive donut shape. The shape is inspired by a traditional European cake known as Gugelhupf, but these cakes are not generally associated with any single recipe. The style of mold in North America was popularized in the 1950s and 1960s, after cookware manufacturer Nordic Ware trademarked the name “Bundt” and began producing Bundt pans from cast aluminum. Publicity from Pillsbury saw the cakes gain widespread popularity.

Ingredients
- butter for pan
- all-purpose for pan
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup caramel warmed slightly and divided
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 16 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 cups coconut shredded and toasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Generously grease a Bundt pan with butter, then sprinkle with flour.
- Prepare cake mix according to package instructions. When the batter is ready, fold in 1/4 cup caramel and pour batter into prepared Bundt pan.
- Bake until cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then run a butter knife around the edges of the pan and invert cake onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make ganache: Place chocolate chips in a large bowl. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat heavy cream. When the cream begins to simmer, remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Pour most of the chocolate ganache over cooled Bundt cake, reserving about 1/3 cup ganache.
- Sprinkle toasted coconut on top then press remaining toasted coconut around the sides of the cake. Drizzle remaining caramel over the cake then drizzle remaining ganache on top. Serve immediately.
