Mission possible: How to make Tom Cruise’s coveted, talk-of-the-town cakes he sends to A-listers

During the holidays, Tom Cruise’s friends and family go coco-nutty!

The 63-year-old “Mission Impossible” star has a list and he’s checking it twice to make sure his talk-of-Tinseltown gifts — White Chocolate Coconut Bundt cakes from Doan’s Bakery in Woodland Hills, California — are delivered before Christmas morning.

In 2018, Cruise explained on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” that he sends the goodies to pals because he loves sugar but can’t eat it, so he gets a ho-ho-ho sending the sweets to others.

Like Santa, the iconic A-lister keeps his ever-evolving list “Top Gun” secret, but those who make the cut rave about it.

“I’m on the list!” hunky “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm raved to Dish Nation, “I’m very proud to be on the list.”

Cobie Smulders, who starred with Cruise in “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back,” gushed to Jimmy Fallon (who’s also on the list) that, “It’s so good. I leave it in my freezer, and it lasts until like March. I just slowly chip away at this thing.”

But you don’t need a celebrity friend to enjoy the treat.

Here’s a Copycat Recipe of the pricey dessert — that sells for a staggering $125.95 (with shipping) — so you and your family can sink your teeth into the same one the stars are munching.

And tell them Cruise sent it.
