Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened (3 sticks)
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
For the Coconut Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons coconut milk (or regular milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan or spray it with non-stick baking spray.
- Make the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 4-5 minutes). Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined. Fold in the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and coconut extract until well combined.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Coconut Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, coconut milk, and coconut extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
- Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the coconut glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Pina Colada Pound Cake and enjoy the delightful tropical flavors! It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Make sure the pineapple is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- For a stronger coconut flavor, increase the amount of coconut extract in the glaze.
