The “Tom Cruise cake” is back — and I can say with certainty that it’s delicious.

Rosie O’Donnell has said getting hers each year, from her old pal “Tommy,” officially kicks off the Christmas season in her home. Well, fa la la la la la la la la because it arrived at Chez O’Donnell on Wednesday.

O’Donnell even fielded some questions about the delicacy — which gets whipped up at family-owned Doan’s Bakery in Woodland Hills, Calif., and shipped all over the world to people on Cruise’s nice list — telling Ross Matthew that it tastes “delish.”

It also led this writer, after doing a story on the cake and staring at photos of it for “research,” to order one, via GoldBelly food shipping service, to try. I’m happy to report it’s fully worth the hype — and the two-month wait to get it.

For $99, shipping included, the cake was sent frozen, packed with dry ice, from the bakery. I couldn’t resist letting it thaw enough to cut a slice right away — as I had literally been waiting months to try it. It’s a coconut dream come true — and this comes from someone who’s not even …….
