Categories     dessert

Time 6h30m

Yield 8 to 10 pieces of cake

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 pints dulce de leche ice cream, softened
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup water
6 1/4-inch-thick fresh pineapple rings (1 left whole and the rest cut in half)
6 maraschino cherries, stemmed and halved
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup chopped dried pineapple
1/2 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/3 cup water
Pinch of kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Steps:

  • Prepare the ice cream layer: Line a 9-inch round cake pan with plastic wrap. Spread the ice cream in the pan using an offset spatula to create a smooth, even layer. Freeze until very firm, about 2 hours.
  • Make the pineapple topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the sides of another 9-inch round cake pan. Stir the granulated sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Cook, gently swirling the pan but not stirring, until the mixture is light brown, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully whisk in the butter. Pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan, quickly swirling to coat the bottom before the caramel hardens (use a rubber spatula if needed to push the caramel to the edges). Lay the whole pineapple slice in the center of the caramel, then lay the remaining half slices around the whole slice, all facing the same direction. Place 1 maraschino cherry half cut-side up in the center of each slice.
  • Make the cake: Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, sour cream and vanilla bean paste in a liquid measuring cup until smooth. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Reduce the speed to medium low and beat in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk mixture, until combined. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula, then increase the speed to medium high and beat 30 more seconds.
  • Pour the batter over the pineapple topping in the pan and spread in an even layer. Bake until well browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Run a knife around the cake to loosen, then transfer to a rack and let the cake cool in the pan, 30 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the pineapple compote: Combine the dried pineapple, pineapple juice, brown sugar, lemon juice, water and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the pineapple is soft and the liquid is syrupy, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla bean paste. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until the pineapple is finely chopped. Let cool.
  • Assemble the cake: Clean the 9-inch round cake pan and line with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang all around. Slice the cake in half horizontally with a long-serrated knife. Place the half without the pineapple cut-side up in the pan. Top with the pineapple compote and spread evenly. Unwrap the frozen ice cream disk and carefully place on top of the compote. Place the remaining cake half, pineapple-side up, on top of the ice cream. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove the cake from the pan, using the plastic wrap to help; transfer to a platter. Let the cake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.

CREAM OF COCONUT PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Cream of Coconut Pineapple Upside-Down Cake image

I came up with this after mistakenly buying cream of coconut, thinking it was coconut cream. Cream of coconut is usually used for making pina coladas (e.g. Coco Goya® Cream of Coconut) and is not the same thing as coconut cream. It turned out so great I had to go back and buy another can!

PINEAPPLE ICE-CREAM CAKE WITH COCONUT TOPPING



Pineapple Ice-Cream Cake with Coconut Topping image

Categories     Cake     Milk/Cream     Ice Cream Machine     Dessert     Freeze/Chill     Frozen Dessert     Coconut     Pineapple     Summer     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 16

about eight 3- by 2- by 1/2-inch pieces of pound cake
For the ice cream
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 large egg yolks
1 large whole egg
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups well-chilled heavy cream
For the topping
2/3 cup well-chilled heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted lightly and cooled
1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted lightly and cooled

Steps:

  • In the bottom of an 8 1/2-inch springform pan arrange the cake, cutting the pieces to fit in one layer, and freeze it while making the ice cream.
  • Make the ice cream:
  • In a heavy saucepan combine pineapple and 1/4 cup of the sugar and simmer the mixture, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, for 5 minutes. Drain the pineapple mixture in a fine sieve set over a bowl, reserving the syrup for another use. In a bowl whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch, a pinch of salt, the yolks, and the whole egg and add the milk, scalded, in a stream, whisking. In a heavy saucepan bring the custard to a boil over moderate heat, whisking, boil it, whisking, for 2 minutes, and strain it through a fine sieve into a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Stir in the pineapple mixture and vanilla, let the custard cool, stirring, and stir in the cream. Freeze the custard in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions until it is frozen but still soft.
  • Spoon the ice cream over the cake, spreading it evenly, and freeze the cake while making the topping.
  • Make the topping:
  • In a bowl beat the cream until it holds soft peaks and beat in the sugar and sour cream. Beat the mixture until it just holds stiff peaks and fold in the coconut gently but thoroughly.
  • Spoon the topping over the ice cream, spreading it evenly, and freeze the cake, its surface covered with plastic wrap, overnight. Let the cake stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, remove the side of the pan, and transfer the cake to a serving plate. Sprinkle the coconut on top and serve the cake into wedges.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pineapple ice cream cake is firm enough to slice, freeze it for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
  • To create a smoother ice cream mixture, blend the cream cheese, sugar, and pineapple juice until completely smooth before adding the whipped cream.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the cake to prevent it from crumbling.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round cake pan, but you will need to carefully remove the cake from the pan before freezing.
  • To make the coconut topping, use unsweetened coconut flakes for a healthier option.
  • Feel free to customize the cake with your favorite toppings, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or fruit.

Conclusion:

This pineapple ice cream cake with coconut topping is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. The combination of pineapple, ice cream, and coconut is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this pineapple ice cream cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
