Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat together cake ingredients.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean from the center.
  4. Wait 5 minutes and then use a skewer or chopstick to poke holes all over the top of the warm cake.
  5. Whisk together the filling ingredients and then pour over the top of the cake. Let the cake cool and absorb at room temperature, about 1 hour.
  6. Once cooled, stir together frosting ingredients and frost the cake.
  7. Top with shredded coconut and optional garnishes if desired.

Notes

  • The cake doesn’t fluff up a ton since it has the weight of the pineapple in it, but it is still fluffy and tender.
  • If you wanted to keep this recipe non-alcoholic, the coconut rum can be omitted without any additional changes.
  • Whipped cream could be used in place of cool whip. Traditional frosting would be too sweet for this cake.
