❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

This cake is the perfect size for a small gathering. The texture is a little more dense than fluffy and it’s so good. If you are a fan of pineapple and coconut, you will love this delicious cake. We make the glaze with pineapple juice, and it just makes the cake even more moist. This cake has terrific reviews. It would be an excellent addition for a wedding or baby shower, brunch or afternoon tea.

SWAPS

We use sweetened coconut in this recipe, but if you want to use unsweetened, that will work too. you can also use salted or unsalted butter, we use whatever we have on hand. This cake has no added salt, so it’s okay either way.

We have had a few questions asking if you can make this in a bundt pan. I think you could but you would need to double it, because it’s not enough ingredients for a full bundt pan. Also one follower commented they made this in 2 (8 inch) pans and lowered the cooking time to 40 minutes and it was delicious. So that is an option as well.

⭐TIP

This cake is just as good the next day so you can easily make it in advance. You could also save the pineapple juice and make the glaze before you serve it.
