Description
A moist pound cake flavored with pineapple and coconut, reminiscent of a pina colada.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- For Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon coconut milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- In a small bowl, mix the coconut milk, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the liquid mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the shredded coconut.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and coconut milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
Notes
- You can toast the shredded coconut lightly before folding it into the batter for a deeper flavor.
- For an extra tropical flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour with almond flour.
