Strawberry-Coconut Bundt Cake



A delicious Strawberry-Coconut bundt cake featured from Gooseberry Patch!

Our third featured recipe from Gooseberry Patch's newest cookbook: Simple Shortcut Recipes is Strawberry Coconut Pound Cake.  You start with a strawberry cake mix, add in some other ingredients, mix them up (in one bowl) and in less than an hour you're done.  Not only do you have a delicious cake, but a beautiful one too.  I love the vibrant  pink color of this cake!  In the cookbook it even states that it doubles as a centerpiece since it's so pretty!  I love doing reviews for Gooseberry Patch and I'm very grateful that they allow me to do them.  So to show my appreciation I like to give away a little gift to go along with the cookbook.  Since I love coffee, I decided to buy a pack of coffee pot holders, a coffee tea towel, and a set of coffee dish rags.




So as you can see, it's a lovely little gift pack that is just waiting to be shipped to your home!  
All you have to do is enter below :)

  13. My favorite shortcut is to use refrigerated pie crust when making fruit pies. Sometimes in the summer I also use a premade graham cracker crust in place of a baked crust. It cuts down on a lot of prep time and keeps the kitchen cool!

  87. What a lovely gift you are offering to some lucky reader. I always use a little vinegar in milk to make buttermilk. Your strawberry cake looks delicious. Hope you are having a great week and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.

  110. I have a shortcut for Scalloped potatoes- buy 3 boxes of cheap scalloped mixes, prepare as directed but add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, some diced onions and 2 jars of "real" bacon bits. Put all in a casserole dish and throw it in the oven! Everyone will love it won't know the difference.
