Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the crushed pineapple.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- To prepare the whipped cream, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Once cakes are cooled, layer one cake with whipped cream and top with the second cake. Frost the top and sides with remaining whipped cream.
- Decorate with additional shredded coconut or pineapple slices if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider incorporating macadamia nuts.
- Use fresh pineapple for a brighter taste.
- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results.
