Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 5 egg large
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 1 cup pineapple drained, crushed
- 2 teaspoons rum flavoring
For the Glaze:
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon rum flavoring
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut toasted
Instructions
- Toast coconut by spreading in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir and cook for about 3-5 minutes until toasted.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add in sugar and rum flavoring, beating until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time.
- In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Slowly add flour mixtures to mixing bowl, alternating with sour cream until fully mixed. Fold in crushed pineapple.
- Pour into a well greased and floured bundt pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 85-90 minutes. This makes a very big cake that will puff up over the top of your pan. It's okay.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool about 15 minutes in pan. Invert onto a wire rack and cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk the milk, rum and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle on cooled cake and immediately sprinkle with toasted coconut. ENJOY!

Notes
- This Pina Colada Pound Cake can be made a day or two ahead of time and will stay moist and delicious as long as you store it covered. The glaze does a perfect job helping the cake keep from drying out.
- This pound cake freezes beautifully, too. Make big slices, wrap them individually in wax paper (or parchment). Put the individually wrapped slices in a ziploc or air-tight container and freeze them. Bring them out of the freezer to thaw (about one hour) and enjoy.
