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!

Time 1h47m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter
7 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1 cup white sugar, divided
7 ⅓ tablespoons butter
1 (15 ounce) can cream of coconut
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved, divided
2 egg yolks
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking pans.
  • Place brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and coconut flakes in a microwave-safe container and heat until warm, about 2 minutes. Mix into a paste.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Whip egg whites in a metal bowl with a clean electric mixer until stiff peaks are formed.
  • Beat 1/2 cup white sugar and 7 1/3 tablespoons butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add remaining 1/2 cup white sugar, cream of coconut, reserved pineapple juice, egg yolks, and vanilla extract; mix thoroughly. Add the flour mixture; stir batter slowly until fully combined. Fold in the whipped egg whites using a spatula.
  • Spread the brown sugar paste over the bottoms of the prepared pans. Arrange pineapple chunks on top. Pour in the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are brown and crisp and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool, about 25 minutes. Flip cakes over onto a serving plate and out of the baking pans.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The pineapple and coconut flavors were nice, and the cake was moist. I would make it again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar.
