Glen Powell is celebrating the return of Tom Cruise's famous coconut cake.

On Friday, Dec. 13, Powell, 36, proved he's made it onto Cruise's annual cake list yet again, as he shared a photo of the holiday gift on his Instagram Stories.

"The Cruise cake has arrived..." the Twisters star wrote, alongside a cake emoji.

The much-talked-about cake was packaged in a box with its usual gold bow and glittering reindeer ornament.

The label was addressed to Powell and said, "Warmest wishes to you this holiday season." It was signed "Tom Cruise."

Powell became close friends with Cruise after starring in 2022's Top Gun: Maverick as Lt. Jake “Hangman” Seresin alongside Cruise's Navy officer Pete "Maverick" Mitchell.

He is one of many celebrities on Cruise's cake list, which also includes Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, Angela Bassett, Hayley Atwell, Rosie O'Donnell, Tom Hanks and many more.

The sweet treat that Cruise tends to send in December every year is a white chocolate coconut bundt cake from Doan's Bakery in Woodland Hills, California. It earned a spot on PEOPLE'S 50 Food Faves of 2023.

Powell has spoken openly about his love for the gift, saying on The Jennifer Hudson Show in November 2022, "It is the most delicious cake you've ever had."

“My friends that have tried it, they love it so much that they hit me up right around Dec. 1. 'Hey, has it arrived yet?'" the Anyone But You star continued. 

"So now I have a party at my house where I'll have the Cruise cake. It's my 'Cruise Cake Party.' And I'll invite people over to try a bite or two ... [they] can't get greedy. I really have to limit people. I can't let them come back for seconds," he went on. "It's usually demolished by the end of the night."
