Has anyone attempted to reverse-engineer the "Tom Cruise cake"?

Recent reports indicate that Tom Cruise annually gifts this cake to his friends during Christmas.

Since I’m unable to sample the original, I’m interested in baking a similar version.

Has anyone attempted to replicate the recipe?

Regarding the bolded section from the description:

“The White Chocolate Coconut Cake is Doan’s 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 rich cream cheese frosting, and then dust it all over with toasted coconut flakes. The result is a delicious, pillowy cake good enough to derail the strictest Hollywood diets.”

It suggests that the cake is pre-baked, and the white chocolate is incorporated afterward.

This cake is something I’ve attempted. There were no white chocolate bits in the cake itself. The cream cheese frosting appeared to contain them. Additionally, there didn’t seem to be any coconut flakes in the cake. I bring this up because I’m trying to find a recipe and a lot of coconut cakes call for coconut.I can attest that the cake did not have toasted coconut. Not on mine, anyhow!
