COCONUT PINEAPPLE BUNDT CAKE
Gina: Multilayered coconut cakes are the prom queens of Southern desserts-and we love them-but, like prom queens, those cakes take time to prepare. This buttery Bundt cake, made with coconut milk, coconut flakes, and fresh chopped pineapple swirled right into the batter, is easier to make and just as satisfying. A pineapple glaze adds a tart punch to the mix.
Yield serves 10 to 12

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously butter a 3-quart Bundt pan; dust the pan with flour, shaking out any excess.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the flour with 2 cups of the flaked coconut, the pineapple, and walnuts; set aside.
- Whisk together the remaining 2 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla and crème de cacao. Alternately stir in batches of the flour and 1 cup of the coconut milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Fold in the coconut-pineapple-nut mixture. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and use a rubber spatula to smooth the top.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack; cool completely.
- While the cake cools, place the remaining cup of flaked coconut on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes, until golden brown.
- To make the glaze, whisk the confectioners' sugar, pine-apple juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons coconut milk in a medium bowl to blend. Spoon the glaze over the cooled cake, then garnish with toasted flaked coconut. Allow the glaze to set for at least 15 minutes before serving.
TROPICAL PINEAPPLE COCONUT RUM CAKE
A fantastic summer dessert. This is a delicious rum cake with a tropical flair. Crushed pineapple and cream of coconut in the cake help to make it very moist. You taste the rum, but it's not an overpowering flavor. The pineapple rum glaze is buttery and soaks into the cake adding even more moisture. A bit of pineapple does not...

Steps:
- 1. CAKE: Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour a large 12" Bundt or tube pan (or spray well with Bakers' Joy).
- 2. Mix all cake ingredients together at low speed for 30 sec, then at medium speed for 2 min.
- 3. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- 4. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center. Cool in pan until cake is completely cool. Make glaze while cake is cooling.
- 5. RUM GLAZE: Melt butter in a saucepan.
- 6. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes stirring constantly.
- 7. Add pineapple and boil 1 more minute while stirring.
- 8. Remove from heat and add rum; set aside and cool 10 minutes.
- 9. Poke holes all over the bottom of the cooled cake (I use a chopstick). Spoon glaze over cake bottom a little at a time so it soaks in until all glaze is used. Let cake sit for at least 30 minutes and then transfer to serving plate. The longer it sits, the better it gets!
Tips:
- For the Best Results: Use fresh pineapple and shredded coconut for the best flavor and texture. Don't over-mix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Pineapple Coconut Rum Poke Cake: Try soaking the baked cake with pineapple juice and coconut rum for an extra burst of flavor. You can also use your favorite flavored rum.
- Pineapple Coconut Sheet Cake with Chocolate Glaze: Make sure the chocolate glaze is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, add more melted chocolate or powdered sugar. You can also drizzle the glaze over the cake instead of spreading it.
- Pineapple Coconut Upside-Down Cake: Use a cast iron skillet or baking dish for the best caramelized pineapple topping. Make sure the sugar and butter are evenly distributed on the bottom of the pan before adding the pineapple slices.
- Pineapple Coconut Cupcakes: Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full, as they will rise during baking. Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
