This Cake Almost Tastes Like a Pina Colada

Baby Kato's Note:

This recipe makes a nice bundt cake that almost tastes like a pina coloda. It's light and mild tasting with a surprise glaze. You won't believe how easy it is to make or how many compliments you will receive. Serve with whipping cream on the side. The whipping cream brings out all the lovely flavours in the cake.

Other than the search for Mr Goudas drink mix here, I and we all enjoyed this extremely !! Loved the flavors, loved the easy to make directions, and we thoroughly enjoyed this . Directions were extremely to follow. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.

Almost didn't make this recipe because I had a hard time finding the Mr Goudas products locally. However, a friend of mine got them for me & I was on-track again! I included all the optionals, & this cake proved to be an absolutely great finale for my dinner party. Everyone enjoyed it, & two of my friends asked for a copy of the recipe. I gave it to them, & also strongly suggested that they check out the XAAR site! Many thanks for this recipe!
