CREAM OF COCONUT PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Cream of Coconut Pineapple Upside-Down Cake image

I came up with this after mistakenly buying cream of coconut, thinking it was coconut cream. Cream of coconut is usually used for making pina coladas (e.g. Coco Goya® Cream of Coconut) and is not the same thing as coconut cream. It turned out so great I had to go back and buy another can!

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, reserve 1/4 cup
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1 lb powdered sugar
1/2 cup shredded coconut

Steps:

  • For cake: Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Using a slotted spoon, set aside 1/4 cup pineapple for frosting.
  • In mixing bowl, combine remaining pineapple and juice with flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, vegetable oil and coconut flavoring.
  • Beat at medium speed 2 minutes.
  • Pour into greased and floured 10-1/2 x 15-1/2 x 1 inch baking pan.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely.
  • To make frosting: Beat cream cheese, butter, sour cream, vanilla and coconut flavoring until smooth and creamy.
  • Add powdered sugar; beat until frosting is a spreadable consistency.
  • Stir in coconut and reserved 1/4 cup pineapple.
  • Use to frost cake.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use a heavy-duty bundt pan, as a regular pan may not be able to withstand the weight of the cake.
  • To ensure that the cake cooks evenly, preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • If you do not have a bundt pan, you can also use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent the cake from breaking.
