  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Putting it all together

Remove the cake from the oven and spread the topping mixture (step 2) over it (poke little holes all over the cake with a toothpick or sharp knife first). Next, pour the sauce (step 3) on top and put the cake back in the oven for about 20 minutes. (Place the cake on a foil-lined jellyroll pan to catch any drips -- and yes, it will drip). It is best served warm.

Serving the Baby Shower Cake

Here's how to serve the cake for a party: Cut a pineapple in half lengthwise (leave the leaves on the pineapple and cut through them lengthwise as well), and scoop out the fruit. To do this, run a sharp knife (or grapefruit knife) down around the edge of the pineapple to the bottom, and remove the fruit all in one piece. Cut the pineapple into large squares. Toast 1/2 cup flaked coconut. Place the fruit in the pineapple boat and sprinkle with toasted coconut. Pre-cut the cake into squares, and place the squares on a pretty serving platter.

Your guests will be amazed with your with your culinary skills but don't expect to have too much of your baby shower cake left when the party is over.
