Pineapple Coconut Dream Cake

A delightful tropical cake blending rich coconut and juicy pineapple for a warm, comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition.
  4. Gently mix in the crushed pineapple, coconut flakes, and vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir this mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

For an extra rich flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter will give it a warm spiciness.
