Here is why fans are searching for ‘Tom Cruise coconut cake’
The Top Gun actor’s coconut cake has resurfaced in viral trends way before Christmas.
Curious fans started looking up Tom Cruise’s special coconut cake tradition online after South Korean pop sensation Jin’s recent Vanity Fair interview. The BTS star took a lie detector test for the publication, where he was asked if he had ever received Cruise’s famous coconut cakes.
However, Jin denied ever getting the special $130 cake from the legendary Hollywood icon. He further added that he would like to receive the special sweet treat. For the unversed, Tom Cruise started sending his close friends a special coconut cake from Doan’s Bakery in Woodland Hills, California, years back.
The actor reportedly sends over 100 white chocolate coconut bundt cakes to his celebrity friends every year. (via The Guardian) Some of the “lucky” celebrity friends who have gotten the cake are Jimmy Fallon, Kirsten Dunst, Rosie O’Donnell, Graham Norton, and more.
Furthermore, Henry Cavill once shared his experience of receiving the cake from Cruise. The Witcher alum revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live that the special Christmas treat was “the most decadent, the most amazing cake.” Meanwhile, Barbara Walters reportedly once ate the sweet treat live on television.
Another veteran actor, Tom Hanks, also swooned over Tom Cruise’s culinary gift in a YouTube video. The Forrest Gump star listed the white chocolate coconut bundt as a part of his last meal. He gushed, “This cake is so great, you can really only have it once a year.”
Hanks even shared that he does not buy it. Every year, Cruise sends the cake, which has become a part of the holiday tradition. Finally, the Oscar-winning actor approved the sweet treat with a compliment, noting, “This is just off-the-scale fantastic.”
