Doan's Bakery
LA’s Legendary Bakery to the Stars
There's a coveted gift each year among Hollywood's A-List celebs officially known as Doan’s White Chocolate Coconut Cake, it's a personal favorite of one famous actor, so much so that he sends it to friends and family nationwide each holiday season. Recipients include Barbara Walters, Jimmy Fallon, Cobie Smulders, Kirsten Dunst, Henry Cavill, James Corden, Angela Bassett, and plenty more.
The cake is the creation of Karen Doan, who founded Doan’s Bakery in 1984, and now runs it with her son Eric. Despite their worldwide renown, it’s still a family-owned and operated business, with a single location in Woodland Hills, California.
The White Chocolate Coconut Cake is their most famous creation, and for good reason. They start with a ring of moist, luxurious coconut bundt cake, mix in chunks of sweet white chocolate, layer on their rich cream cheese frosting, and then dust it all over with toasted coconut flakes. The result is an irresistible, pillowy cake that's tasty enough to derail the strictest Hollywood diet.
