👩‍🍳 How to Make Pineapple Coconut Dream Cake

Step 1: Bake the Cake Layers

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

  3. In another bowl, mix eggs, crushed pineapple (with juice), coconut milk, oil, and extracts.

  4. Gently combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Don’t overmix!

  5. Divide batter evenly into pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  6. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Frosting

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.

  2. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla and whip until fluffy.

  3. Spread ½ cup shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast at 350°F for 5–7 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool.

Step 3: Assemble the Dream

  1. Place one cake layer on your serving plate and spread a thick layer of frosting.

  2. Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides.

  3. Gently press toasted coconut around the sides and sprinkle over the top.

  4. Decorate with pineapple slices or cherries for that perfect tropical finish.

🌺 Tips for Cake Success

  • Don’t overmix the batter – A few lumps are fine; it keeps the crumb tender.

  • Toast your coconut – It deepens the flavor and adds an irresistible crunch.

  • Chill before slicing – Pop the cake in the fridge for 30 minutes for perfect, clean cuts.

  • Make it a poke cake – For extra richness, poke holes in the warm layers and drizzle with coconut milk or sweetened condensed milk.

🍹 Serving Ideas

  • With a chilled glass of tropical iced tea or hot coffee

  • Topped with whipped cream and a hint of lime zest

  • As the star dessert for your next summer picnic or beach-themed party
