Mrs. Lilien'S Luau Cake

• 1/4 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts
• 1/4 cup toasted unsweetened flaked coconut
• 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 4 cups (about 17 oz.), plus 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour, divided
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cups (12 oz.) unsalted butter, softened
• 5 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons lime zest plus 2 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 2 limes)
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup finely chopped dried pineapple
• 1/2 cup canned pineapple juice
• 3 cups (about 12 oz.) unsifted powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 325u0b0F. Stir together macadamia nuts, flaked coconut, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the flour in a small bowl; set aside.
2. Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until incorporated after each addition. Add zest, juice, coconut extract, and 2 teaspoons of the vanilla extract; beat just until combined.
3. Whisk together salt and remaining 4 cups flour in a separate bowl; add to sugar mixture alternately with cream in 3 batches, beating on low just until ingredients are incorporated. Fold in dried pineapple.
4. Spoon half of the batter into a greased and floured 14-cup Bundt pan. Sprinkle evenly with macadamia nut mixture; top with remaining batter. Bake in preheated oven until golden and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack 30 minutes. Turn cake out onto rack, and cool completely, about 1 hour.
5. While cake cools, cook pineapple juice in a small saucepan over medium-high until reduced by half, about 9 minutes. Pour into a bowl; cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Whisk in powdered sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over cake.
