Steps:
- Prepare the cake: Poke holes all over the tops of the 2 cake layers using a toothpick. Brush the cakes with the pineapple juice, letting it soak into the holes; set aside.
- Make the filling: Bring the dried pineapple, pineapple juice, cream of coconut and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the dried pineapple is soft and the liquid is reduced to a thick syrup, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then mash with a potato masher to make a chunky jam.
- Make the frosting: Beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add the cream of coconut, increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat until thick, 2 to 3 more minutes. Assemble the cake: Place 1 cake layer on a platter; spread the pineapple filling on top, stopping about 1/2 inch from the edge. Top with the second cake layer and press down gently. Cover the whole cake with the coconut frosting. Top with the toasted coconut and dried pineapple.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch-round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper; butter the parchment and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
- Whisk 3 cups flour, the baking powder and salt in a bowl until combined. Beat 2 sticks butter and the sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium; beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. (The mixture may look separated at this point.)
- Mix 1/2 cup water with the cream in a liquid measuring cup or bowl. Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour, until just smooth.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are lightly golden on top and the centers spring back when pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

PINA COLADA UPSIDE-DOWN CAKES
Steps:
- Position a rack in the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. If using a muffin pan that's not nonstick, spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Stir together the brown sugar, rum and 3 tablespoons of the coconut oil in a small bowl. Pour about 1 tablespoon into each cup of a 6-cup nonstick jumbo muffin pan.
- Place 1 pineapple ring in each muffin cup, then put 1 cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
- Finely mince the remaining 2 pineapple rings until the texture resembles crushed pineapple; transfer to a large bowl. Add the lime juice, coconut milk and granulated sugar and the remaining 4 tablespoons coconut oil. Whisk to combine. Add the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups (about a heaping 1/4 cup in each). Use the back of a small spoon to smooth the tops. Transfer the muffin pan to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the center springs back when you lightly press the top a cake, about 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Set a wire rack inside another rimmed baking sheet and spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray. Run a small offset spatula around the edge of each cake, then carefully invert the cakes onto the prepared rack. Let cool for 20 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, remove the chilled heavy coconut cream from the refrigerator. Scoop the solid coconut cream from the top of the can (about 1 cup), leaving behind the coconut water and reserving it. Whip the coconut cream with a handheld mixer on high speed in a large bowl until smooth, creamy and very soft peaks form. If the cream is too thick, whip in 1 teaspoon of the reserved coconut water at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Add the lime zest and confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Top the cakes with large dollops of the whipped coconut cream. Serve immediately.
PERFECT PINA COLADA CAKE
This cake is so light & moist and has so much flavor. It's really delightful. I got it from a cookbook back in 1985 that was comprised of everybodies favorites. This was my mom's all time favorite cake. You may have trouble finding coconut cream pudding, so you can sub with vanilla pudding.

Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. Fresh pineapple is sweeter and juicier than canned pineapple. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Use a cream cheese frosting for the best flavor. Cream cheese frosting is rich and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the pineapple flavor of the cake.
- Decorate the cake with pineapple slices, cherries, or toasted coconut. This will give the cake a festive look that's perfect for any occasion.
Conclusion:
Pina colada cake is a delicious and refreshing cake that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, and it's always a hit with guests. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give pina colada cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
