My husband loves coconut so he’s always asking me to make something with it. I love pineapple so I thought the two would make a perfect combination. This recipe doesn’t call for any butter or oil, however the addition of the pineapple juice makes the cake moist and dense. I topped it off with a cream cheese frosting that I added while the cake was still warm so it seeps down into the cake as well. Then sprinkle on some toasted coconut for a pretty garnish. This cake uses everyday ingredients found in your pantry and you can mix it up in one bowl. This is definitely a simple and delicious cake!
