Step 4: Add Pineapple for Maximum Moisture

Pour the entire can of crushed pineapple with its juice into the wet mixture.
Stir gently until combined — this is what gives the cake its moist, tropical flavor.

Step 5: Bring the Batter Together

Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
Mix gently using a spatula or mixer on low speed until no streaks of flour remain.
Avoid overmixing — we want a light, tender crumb.

Step 6: Bake Until Perfect

• Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
• Smooth the top using a spatula.
• Bake for 30–38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• The top should be lightly golden, and your kitchen will smell like a tropical paradise.

Let the cake cool completely before frosting.

🌺 Step 7: Make the Dreamy Coconut Frosting

Whip the topping:

1. Add heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to a chilled mixing bowl.
2. Beat until soft peaks form.
3. Add coconut cream and beat until thick and fluffy.

This topping is airy, light, and not overly sweet—the perfect companion to the rich cake.

🥄 Step 8: Frost, Decorate & Serve

Once the cake is fully cooled:

1. Spread the whipped coconut frosting generously over the top.
2. Sprinkle extra coconut flakes for texture.
3. Add pineapple chunks or rings for a beautiful tropical finish.
4. Chill for at least 1 hour — this helps the flavors meld together.

🍰 Serving Suggestions

• Serve chilled for a refreshing treat.
• Add a drizzle of pineapple syrup for extra flavor.
• Pair with iced tea, lemonade, or a fruity mocktail.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
