Samoa Bundt Cake
Samoa Cake tastes like the cherished lady scout cookie in bundt cake form with a tender cake full of chocolate flavor protected in a caramel frosting and lots of toasted coconut. A drizzle of caramel sauce and chocolate sauce makes it even tougher to withstand.
We’re coming up on woman Scout Cookie season which I look forward to each year. Samoas are my preferred cookie length. They are unmarried handedly responsible for turning me from a coconut hater into a coconut lover.
For those days whilst there are no samoa cookies to be had, it may be fun to flavor other cakes with that excellent coconut, caramel, and chocolate flavor combination.
