Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

9 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 1/2 cups packed dark-brown sugar, divided
1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/8-by-4 3/4-inch slices
1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon grated lime zest plus 2 tablespoons juice
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon fine salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 5 tablespoons butter and add to a 9-inch square baking pan, tilting to coat bottom and sides. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar and arrange pineapple slices in 2 slightly overlapping rows.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave coconut milk and remaining 4 tablespoons butter in 20-second increments until butter is melted but not hot. Whisk remaining cup sugar to remove lumps, then add to bowl. Whisk in eggs, lime zest and juice, and vanilla.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, allspice, and salt. Add flour mixture to coconut milk mixture in 3 additions, whisking until smooth. Pour batter over pineapple and spread in an even layer. Tap pan on counter to remove any air bubbles. Bake until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 1 hour. Let cool on a wire rack, 1 hour. Run a knife around edges before inverting onto a platter. Serve warm.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out at all. It was dense and gummy.

This cake was a disaster. It was dry and tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly, but it didn't turn out at all.
