Pineapple Coconut Cake With Warm Coconut Icing Paulas Magazine Recipes

PINEAPPLE CAKE WITH COCONUT FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour (2) 8-inch or 9-inch round pans. Place the pineapple chunks in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, without any chunks. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and the sugar until smooth. Stir in the coconut milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, stir to combine. Add 1 cup of the pureed pineapple and stir once more.
• Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake 35-38 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, before inverting the cakes over a wire rack. Let the cakes cool completely.
• Place the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add half the powdered sugar and beat to combine. Add the remaining sugar and beat again. Add the coconut milk and the vanilla, beat to combine and then taste the frosting. Adjust the sugar as desired, and add a tiny splash of rum, if you would like.
• Place one layer of the cake on a plate, top with 1/3 of the frosting, smoothing it gently across the cake, almost to the edge. Gently place the second cake over the frosting layer. (I like to place the first cake upright and then flip the second cake over, so that the tops are facing in and the bottom is on top providing a nice flat layer.) Scoop the remaining frosting onto the top cake and gently spread it across the cake. Sprinkle with coconut, if desired, and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!

COCONUT CAKE WITH PINEAPPLE FILLING

Steps:

• For the cake:.
• Preheat oven 375 degrees F. Butter and flour three 9-inch cake pans and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar, add beaten eggs, milk, and vanilla and use a hand mixer to blend together. Add flour mixture in three batches, using mixer to incorporate all ingredients.
• Pour evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25 minutes. Use a toothpick to make sure cake is done. Remove from oven and cool on rack 5 minutes and invert cake onto rack to finish cooling.
• For the pineapple filling:.
• Combine ingredients, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick and clear. Cool before using.
• For the icing:.
• Place sugar, cream of tartar, salt, water and egg whites in the top of a double boiler. Beat with a hand mixer for 1 minute. Place pan over boiling water, being sure that the boiling water does not touch the bottom of the top pan. (If this happens, it could cause your frosting to become grainy). Beat constantly on high speed with mixer for 7 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
• Assemble the cakes:.
• Take a pedestal cake dish and put first layer of cake, spread half of the pineapple filling, take second layer cake and put on top first layer and spread with other half of filling, take third cake and place on top second layer and start icing around the sides of the cake. Put the rest of the icing on top of cake and make big swirls for a nice finish. Take sweetened shredded coconut and immediately put around the sides and on top of cake before the icing dries. Enjoy!

BEST PINEAPPLE COCONUT CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F, and grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl, add the cake mix.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine water, vegetable oil, eggs, and 1½ teaspoons of coconut extract, and whisk to combine.
• Add the wet ingredients to the cake mix, and mix at medium speed with a hand mixer (or by hand, vigorously with a fork) for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
• Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans, and bake for 23 to 35 minutes per the box's instructions. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the pineapple preserves, optional lemon zest, and a dash of salt. Whisk until combined and set aside.
• In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, add the butter, coconut milk, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of coconut extract, and a dash of salt.
• Using the paddle attachment (or a hand mixer), mix on low speed to combine the ingredients. Once the mixture is just combined, turn up the mixer to medium-high speed and mix for 1 minute until smooth and creamed.
• With the mixer off, add the confectioner's sugar. On low speed, mix the sugar until it's incorporated. Turn the mixer up to medium-high and beat for about 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Set aside.
• Once the cakes are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to sit in the pans and cool for 10 minutes.
• Loosen the cakes around the side with a butter knife, and flip them out of the pans onto a cooling rack. Allow the cakes to finish cooling completely, about 20 to 30 more minutes.
• After the cakes have cooled completely, use a serrated knife to level off the tops of both cakes so that they are completely flat.
• Transfer the frosting into a pastry bag and pipe a dab of frosting on the surface that you'll be frosting your cake on (such as a cake circle or lazy Susan) to keep your cake from sliding.
• Grab one of the cake layers and place it on top of the icing dab, flat side down, crumb side up.
• Using your piping bag, pipe a thick and high border of frosting around the inner edge of the cake layer. This will create a border to hold the pineapple preserves in place. Make sure the frosting is thick with no gaps for the preserves to escape.
• Spoon the preserves into the center of the cake. Pipe more frosting to securely trap in the preserves if needed.
• Place the second cake layer on top of your icing and pineapple, flat side up, crumb side facing the pineapple filling.
• Pipe icing all around the edges and top of the cake. Use an offset spatula to distribute and smooth out the icing around the cake's sides and top. Make sure all the layers are evenly coated.
• Once the cake is completely iced, gently press the shredded coconut on to the sides of the cake. Redistribute any coconut that falls off during the process. Coat the entire top and sides of the cake with the coconut.
• Slice the cake, transfer to serving plates, and enjoy.
