Blue Hawaiian Bundt Cake

The theme this month is Tropical March. I immediately went to pineapple and coconut as most of you would but wanted something different. Then I started thinking of cocktails and started to conjure up images of little umbrellas coming out of the drinks that I have seen poolside.

Hmmm, there are Pina Coladas that I love and daiquiris of all flavors but then it came to me A BLUE HAWAIIAN BUNDT CAKE!!! Sure why not! That is crazy enough to work I thought.

Get all the flavors of a Blue Hawaiian cocktail in a cake and then top it with a big layer of fluffy coconut seven-minute frosting. I had visions of Elvis in his white pantsuit holding a piece of my cake. WOW, my mind went nuts with this!!

Anyway, so much fun, that’s what creating is all about. This cake turned out to be fabulous. I had never baked a blue cake before so I was anxious to frost and finally cut into it.

It was so moist and flavorful, I got rave reviews!! Enjoy!!!
