Categories     Dessert

Time 3h3m

Number Of Ingredients 19

14 ounce can pineapple tidbits (drained)
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
¼ cup canned coconut milk
½ cup butter (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2½ cups all-purpose flour *
2½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1½ cups brown rice flour
⅔ cup potato starch
⅓ cup tapioca starch
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
16 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
3 cups powdered sugar
½ cup canned coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon dark rum (optional or 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional))
1 cup sweetened coconut (for topping (toasted, if desired))

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!

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!

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.

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Yield 1 cake, 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

16 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons pineapple juice
3 tablespoons cream coconut milk

Steps:

  • Blend all ingredients together in a food processor till light and fluffy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. Fresh pineapple is sweeter and juicier. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a well-greased and floured pan. This will help ensure that the cake doesn't stick to the pan and it comes out clean. Make sure to run a knife around the edges and gently remove the cake from the pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you're making the coconut cream frosting ahead of time, be sure to store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the cake at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cake to be at its best.

Conclusion:

Pineapple Paradise Cake with Coconut Cream Frosting is a delicious and tropical cake that is perfect for any occasion. The pineapple and coconut flavors are a perfect combination, and the cake is moist and fluffy. The coconut cream frosting is light and airy, and it adds a touch of sweetness that balances out the acidity of the pineapple. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
