Instructions

Creating the Classic Pineapple Cake with a Tropical Twist is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then, add the crushed pineapple, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
5. Incorporate Coconut: Gently fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top as necessary.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Frost the Cake: Once cooled, spread cream cheese frosting over the top, if desired.
10. Add Garnish: Sprinkle coconut flakes on top for a decorative finish before serving.
