Directions

Prepare the Cake

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

2.

To make the crumbs: Place the coconut on a baking sheet and bake for about eight minutes or until just browning. Place all crumb ingredients in a bowl and mix with your hands until a crumbly consistency forms. Set aside.

3.

Meanwhile, beat the eggs and sugar on high speed for about eight minutes until they’re a light, creamy yellow.

4.

Add the remaining ingredients in the order they appear. Make sure to drain the pineapple well before adding it.

5.

Mix just until incorporated. and pour into a lined nine- by 13-inch (20- by 30-centimeter) pan or a 10-inch (26-centimeter) springform pan.

6.

Top with the crumbs and bake for about 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7.

Once cooled, mix the confectioners’ sugar with pineapple juice and drizzle over the top of the cake.

Notes:

Piña colada drink mixer is available at many retailers and on Amazon. If you don’t have it, you can substitute three tablespoons orange juice and three tablespoons pineapple juice from the can. But make the extra effort to find it — it’s worth it!
