Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt or loaf pan; line the bottom with parchment if desired.

2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar for 4–5 minutes until light and fluffy.

3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. In another bowl, combine coconut milk, crushed pineapple, and rum extract.

6. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the wet ingredients in two parts. Start and end with dry.

7. Gently fold in shredded coconut.

8. Pour batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 60–70 minutes.

9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Mix powdered sugar and pineapple juice until smooth; drizzle over cooled cake. Sprinkle sweetened shredded coconut on top.

Notes

For best texture, use room temperature ingredients.

Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture.

Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing to prevent it from absorbing the glaze.
