3 Large eggs

1 ½ C Heavy whipped cream

1 box Vanilla cake mix (I used Betty Crocker)

½ cup vegetable oil

Equipment:

whisk

bowl

mixing bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350F.Combine the cake mix, coconut milk, oil, eggs and coconut extract. Beat on medium speed until well combined. Zest two limes into the batter and then squeeze the juice out of one of the lime. Continuing mixing until the batter is well mixed. Pour the batter into a 9-inch by 13-inch pan.Bake the cake for 20-22 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, your cake is done. Allow the cake to cool for about 45 minutes.For the topping: Once the cake has cooled, then take the handle of a wooden spoon or another round object and poke holes all over the top of your cake.In a medium-sized bowl, combine the instant pudding and milk and whisk until the pudding is dissolved. Pour the liquid pudding over the cake and drip it into the holes in the cake. Refrigerate the cake for at least 15 minutes.To prepare the whipped cream, put your mixing bowl and wire whisk in the freezer for 10 minutes to get them very cold. This is optional, but something I usually do, it helps keep the whipped cream cold.Beat the heavy whipping cream and beat on medium-high speed. Slowly add the coconut extract and the powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in the shredded coconut until mixed. Do not mix it too aggressively, or the whipped cream will deflate. Spread this over the cooled cake.Lastly, zest the lime over top of the whipped cream. This cake must be refrigerated.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
