Step-by-Step Instructions for Catch A Husband Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, and coconut milk in a large bowl. Whisk well and set aside.
  3. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth consistency.
  5. Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to butter-sugar-egg mixture, alternating with milk mixture.
  6. Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Using the leftover milk mixtures, prepare the icing and enhance the coconut flavor.
  9. Layer the cakes on a serving plate, drizzling icing in between and on top. Optionally top with toasted coconut flakes.
