It is moist and fluffy, with a mild pineapple flavor and crushed pineapple baked right in. It is such a great, fruity cake for spring, with some whipped cream and fresh fruit. One of the best things about this homemade cake is how easy it is to make. Because we use oil and not butter, the batter can be stirred together with a whisk in one bowl, and using canned pineapple makes it doable even if you’re out of fresh! With just 10 minutes of prep time, you can have this beautiful Pineapple Cake on the table in no time!

I always prefer to store fruit desserts in the refrigerator if it’s going to be more than a few hours, as fruit adds a lot of moisture that can cause baked goods to spoil more quickly.

If you’re serving this Pineapple Cake the day you bake it, leave it on the counter, and let it cool to room temperature before topping and serving.

This pineapple coconut cake is one of my favourite cake recipes of all time, and I'm delighted to be able to share it with you. It's packed with tropical flavours of pineapple and coconut and is so moist that it doesn't need any frosting. It's the perfect cake to impress your friends at the office, but at the same time, it wouldn't be out of place as a dessert at a formal dinner party. I've made this pineapple cake umpteen times and it really is a no-fail recipe.

The pineapple flavour of this cake really shines through. This is due to adding crushed pineapples to both the cake batter and the delicious sugary pineapple glaze. This cake contains an entire can of pineapple, and there is just enough coconut in the mixture to provide a coconut taste, without being too sweet.

I love the flavour of coconut and I often use it for making cakes and desserts. If you also enjoy coconut, you may enjoy these other recipes too.

You can get the complete recipe and detailed ingredients for this pineapple coconut cake on the printable recipe card at the end of this post.

To make a pineapple coconut cake you will need all the normal cake ingredients like flour, eggs and butter, but instead of milk, you use a can of pineapple chunks. Get pineapple which has been canned in its own juice. Don't use pineapple in a heavy syrup, this will be too sweet.

The pineapple chunks will be blended in a food processor until crushed. Some of the pineapple will be added to the cake and the rest will be mixed with icing sugar (or powdered sugar / confectioner's sugar) to form a glaze and which will be poured over the baked cake while it is still warm.

Crushed

Start off by creaming the butter and sugar as you would for a normal cake. I like to use my electric hand-mixer for this as it saves a lot of effort. If you don't have a hand-mixer, you can just use a wooden spoon and a lot of elbow grease!

Drain ¾ of the pineapple juice from the tin and set it aside. Place the pineapple chunks, along with the rest of the pineapple juice, into a blender and blend until the chunks are finely chopped. Scoop out one cup of the crushed pineapple

And mix it into the creamed butter, sugar and egg mixture. Pour the remainder of the crushed pineapple into the reserved juice.

The reason we remove most of the juice from the pineapple chunks before blending is that there would be too much liquid in the pineapple and the cake batter would be too wet.

Now beat the egg whites until soft peaks are formed, fold the egg whites into the cake batter ⅓ at a time. Do not beat, just cut the egg whites through the batter with a knife until they are combined

Grease a 9 (23cm) round spring-form cake tin lightly with butter and then line the bottom with a round of baking parchment

. The baking parchment will enable you to remove the cake from the tin easily. Pour the batter into the cake tin

Place the cake tin into a pre-heated oven (180C / 375F) for about 35 minutes until the top of the cake is nicely browned and feels firm to the touch, and a wooden skewer inserted into the cake comes out cleanly.

Mix the reserved crushed pineapple and juice with icing sugar (powdered sugar / confectioner's sugar) in a microwave-safe bowl. The mixture will be runny. Place the pineapple mixture into the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high power. The pineapple mixture will have thickened slightly, but will still be quite runny. Pour the hot pineapple mixture over the cake (still in the baking pan) and allow it to cool. Make sure the pineapple mixture covers the entire cake.

This pineapple coconut cake will remain moist and fresh for up to 4 days if stored in a covered container in the kitchen.

You can serve this pineapple coconut cake as is, or you can sprinkle the top of the cake with additional icing sugar (powdered sugar / confectioner's suger) before serving.
