Pineapple Coconut Cake

This is my recipe. If you do not have access to coconut milk, you can use 1 1/2 cup pineapple juice, and add 2 tsp coconut extract. Also...for those who called the icing at "hot mess", you clearly didn't read my instrcutions all the way through, which stated: "continue to add confectioners sugar, until desired consistency is reached". Perhaps, you should try it again, after thoroughly reading the recipe. Happy baking!

Followed recipe exactly. The only change I made was to bake it in a 9x13" glass baking dish, coconut on top and crushed pineapple spread over that. OMG, this is one of the best cakes ever!

I made the icing first. It turned out a hot mess because it was just pure butter with pineapple flavoring (from the juice). Luckily I was able to whip it into shape by adding MORE confectioners sugar (1 1/2 c), whipped w/ hand mixer 1cup of heavy whipping cream. I did not make the cake.

I used all the exact ingredients turned out great. I made it and enter it in the fair and won first place. Was so excited.

Cake is great. used my own icing.

Amazing! Very good recipe. I used It to make the most beautiful double layer coconut raspberry cake.

No access to coconut milk here in Mexico, but did find Cream of Coconut, which I used half cup this & half milk. Cake is very grainy-I would advise using parchment paper on bottom of cake pans-I lost about a third in removal. Very difficult to frost also. 2-9" pans took 42 minutes to bake.Threw in pineapple & flaked coconut in batter. Wont make again, texture wasnt good.

I made this cake and my family loved it. The only thing was there was too much butter for my icing, so I added cream cheese to it, otherwise I will be making this case again and again and again. LOVED IT!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

i changes the sugar(s) to pure via Stevia, eggs to unsweetened apple sauce to make it vegan, and replaced the butter(s) with i can't believe it's not butter light, to control fat content

made this and was delicious... I had to reread directions to make sure I was doing correctly.. a little confusing in spots but finished product tasted so good.. icing was not as thick as I wanted or expected and I used a ton of confectioners sugar..

i added the pineapple into cake batter and it was amazing.

This is the best dag on pineapple coconut cake I’ve ever had! I made it exactly as directed and it turned out perfect. Even had a request to bake one for a coworker. Absolutely love this recipe! Definitely a keeper!

everyone loved this cake made it for a bake sale making another one .......

I followed recipe except I used all purpose flour + 2 tbs cornstarch per cup. And a punch of salt of course. Cake turned out great! As for the frosting, I used 3 cups powdered sugar and probably a few tbs of pineapple juice with rest of recipe. I also toasted the coconut 1 cup then pineapple on top of that layer. Holy cow YUM! Thanks for the recipe.

Followed the directions exactly and was excited as my family loved pineapple and coconut. The whole cake was a hot mess as a previous stated in another review and I did add confectioners sugar to the icing as directed. If you do try it, watch the cake like a hawk. I baked 45 minutes and it was over baked. I bake often there is nothing wrong with my oven or pans.

This is the best cake I have ever made, hands down. It’s now the family favorite for birthdays and celebrations. It has a very light texture but a wonderful flavor. I’ve made a lot of cakes over the years and I could have thrown out half of my other recipes after finding this one.

I haven’t made this yet. But I plan to, I was wondering do you have an idea what the carbs is in the cake itself not including the icing - I want to do a simpler icing. I can’t eat too too much sugar. Because I’m a t1d but I want to keep it like regular sugar. I want to do this for my wedding cake. But I would like an idea on how many carbs it is for when I make it here soon to try it
