Ingredients for the Tropical Pineapple Bliss Cake:
For the Cake:
- 1 can (15 oz) of pineapple chunks with their luscious juices
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of pure coconut extract
- A pinch of salt
For the Creamy Coconut Frosting:
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 package of creamed coconut (available in most stores)
- A hint of vanilla essence
For the Optional Topping:
- Handful of shredded coconut, lightly toasted
Instructions for Creating the Tropical Pineapple Bliss Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- In a generously sized mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients for the cake: the entire can of pineapple chunks (juices included!), all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, large eggs, coconut extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix these delightful ingredients together until you have a smooth and enchanting batter.
- Pour this tropical concoction into your prepared baking pan, ensuring it’s spread out evenly.
- Bake your creation in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the cake springs back when gently touched, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While your cake cools down, let’s prepare the Creamy Coconut Frosting. In a separate bowl, blend together the unsalted butter, powdered sugar, creamed coconut (for that heavenly tropical twist), and a hint of vanilla essence. Mix until it’s as smooth and creamy as a dream.
- Once the cake has cooled to room temperature, generously ice it with the Creamy Coconut Frosting. Spread it evenly across the top for an irresistible finish.
- If you’re feeling extra exotic, sprinkle your creation with a handful of lightly toasted shredded coconut. This optional topping adds a delightful crunch and an extra burst of coconut flavor.
- Slice your Tropical Pineapple Bliss Cake into 12 small but enchanting pieces, and get ready to transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise!
