Catch a Husband Cake (Bolo Pega-Marido)
Super Moist Coconut Custard Cake
🌟 Ingredients
For the cake (everything goes in the blender!)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 395 g)
- 1 can evaporated milk (12 oz / 354 ml) or regular milk
- 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz / 400 ml)
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup grated coconut (optional but traditional)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
🥥 Instructions
1. Preheat oven
350°F (175°C).
2. Blend everything
Put all ingredients into a blender.
Blend until completely smooth (about 1–2 minutes).
3. Pour into a greased pan
Use a 9×13 inch pan or a deep round cake pan.
The batter will be very thin — that’s normal!
It bakes into a custard-like cake with its own creamy layers.
4. Bake
Bake 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly caramelized.
The center will be moist and pudding-like — not dry like a normal cake.
5. Cool before cutting
Let cool at least 20 minutes to firm up.
✨ Optional Coconut Glaze (makes it irresistible)

- 1 cup coconut milk

Warm briefly and pour over warm cake.
