Pineapple-Coconut Cake image

Like a pineapple upside-down cake, infused with the flavors of coconut and a caramel topping. Canned pineapple keeps it very soft, moist, and not too sweet.

Time 1h10m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (15.25 ounce) can pineapple rings in juice, divided
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup coconut milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup grated coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Separate pineapple rings and juice. Chop enough rings to fill a 1/4 cup measure. Pour 1/4 cup juice into a small bowl. Set aside remaining rings.
  • Melt butter for caramel in a small saucepan. Add brown sugar, whipped topping, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and bring to a boil. Pour caramel into a 9-inch round glass cake pan, coating the bottom evenly. Arrange pineapple rings over top, slicing them if desired. Set aside.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl.
  • Cream sugar and butter together in another bowl. Gradually add flour mixture and mix until it resembles a coarse pastry dough. Add eggs; mix thoroughly. Stir in coconut milk, pineapple chunks and reserved juice, and vanilla extract. Stir in grated coconut. Carefully pour batter over the glazed pan.
  • Place the cake pan on top of a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple cake, but I really enjoyed this one. The coconut frosting is what really makes it.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think it would be perfect with a less sweet frosting.

This cake was a disaster. It didn't rise properly and the frosting was runny.

The frosting on this cake is a bit too thick for my taste. I would prefer a lighter frosting.
