All of my favorite tropical ingredients in one cake. It is my favorite cake for summer. It is unbelievably moist and tasty. I hope you get a chance to try it and share it with your family and friends. If you don't want to use macadamia nuts - pecans or walnuts will work and be tasty too (: Enjoy!

FOR CAKE:
2 bananas, mashed
20 oz canned pineapple tidbits, drained (reserve 1 tb juice for glaze)
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar, packed
1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c sour cream
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp banan flavoring
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
FOR GLAZE: (OPTIONAL)
2 Tbsp butter melted
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp spiced rum
1 Tbsp pineapple juice
FOR TOPPING:
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/3 c evaporated milk
1 1/3 c sugar
1/2 c butter
12 oz bag flaked coconut
1/2 c chopped macadamia nuts (you may substitute pecans or walnuts)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In your mixer cream butter and sugars on medium speed until fluffy. Add eggs, mashed banana, pineapple, vanilla and banana extracts, sour cream. Mix on low until well combined.
  • 2. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda.
  • 3. Add entire flour mixture and mix on low until combined.
  • 4. Grease and lightly flour 9x13 baking pan. Pour in batter and bake 30 to 35 minutes until done. Set aside to cool.
  • 5. Combine glaze ingredients and mix until sugar has melted. Poke holes on top of cake and brush glaze over cake. You don't have to use the entire amount. I usually end up using about 3/4 of the glaze.
  • 6. In a medium sauce pan add egg, evaporated milk, sugar, and butter. On medium heat cook and stir until thick and bubbling about 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in coconut and macadamia nuts until combined. Cool to room temperature.
  • 7. Spread topping over cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

TROPICAL PINEAPPLE COCONUT RUM CAKE



Tropical Pineapple Coconut Rum Cake image

A fantastic summer dessert. This is a delicious rum cake with a tropical flair. Crushed pineapple and cream of coconut in the cake help to make it very moist. You taste the rum, but it's not an overpowering flavor. The pineapple rum glaze is buttery and soaks into the cake adding even more moisture. A bit of pineapple does not...

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 box Duncan Hines pineapple cake mix
1 box Jell-o instant coconut cream pudding mix (small; 3.4 oz)
4 large eggs
1/2 can(s) crushed pineapple, drained reserving 1/2 cup juice (20 oz can)
1/2 c pineapple juice
1/2 can(s) cream of coconut (2/3 cup)
1/2 c Jamaican rum
1/2 c vegetable oil
PINEAPPLE-RUM GLAZE
1 stick butter
1/4 c water
1 c brown sugar
1/2 can(s) crushed pineapple, drained (remaining from cake)
3/4 c Jamaican rum

Steps:

  • 1. CAKE: Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour a large 12" Bundt or tube pan (or spray well with Bakers' Joy).
  • 2. Mix all cake ingredients together at low speed for 30 sec, then at medium speed for 2 min.
  • 3. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • 4. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center. Cool in pan until cake is completely cool. Make glaze while cake is cooling.
  • 5. RUM GLAZE: Melt butter in a saucepan.
  • 6. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes stirring constantly.
  • 7. Add pineapple and boil 1 more minute while stirring.
  • 8. Remove from heat and add rum; set aside and cool 10 minutes.
  • 9. Poke holes all over the bottom of the cooled cake (I use a chopstick). Spoon glaze over cake bottom a little at a time so it soaks in until all glaze is used. Let cake sit for at least 30 minutes and then transfer to serving plate. The longer it sits, the better it gets!

Tips:

  • Bake the cake in a well-greased pan: This will help prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

  • Garnish the cake with fresh pineapple slices or chunks: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
