Pina Colada-style Cake
- 360 ml Coconut (sweetened)
- 360 ml All-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking soda
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 160 ml Granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 1/2 tsp Rum essence
- 1/2 tsp Coconut essence
- 240 ml Sour cream
- 7 rings Pineapple (canned)
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Spread the coconut on a baking tray, and warm in the oven until slightly browned.
- This takes 6-8 minutes.
- Mix 2 or 3 times while warming.
- Then, leave to cool.
- Squeeze the moisture out of the pineapple with a paper towel, and cut roughly into 5 mm-wide pieces.
- Coat the mould with butter, and sprinkle with flour (not listed).
- Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda, and sift twice.
- Put the butter, granulated sugar and salt into a bowl, and mix with a hand mixer at high speed until the butter whitens and turns fluffy.
- Then, add the egg in small batches, mixing well with each addition.
- When the egg has mixed in, stir in the rum and coconut essence.
- Add the flour and sour cream alternately.
- Add 1/3 of the flour, then 1/2 of the sour cream, and mix with the hand mixer at low speed.
- Repeat, and then finally add the remaining flour.
- Don't knead the flour once you've added it all!
- Just give it a quick mix.
- Use a silicone spatula to mix the cut pineapple and 240 ml of toasted coconut to the mixture from Step 4.
- Pour it into the mould you prepared in Step 2, and gently smooth the surface.
- Top with the rest of the coconut (120 ml), and gently press on it with your hand.
- Bake it for 65-70 minutes in the preheated oven.
- It's done when a skewer poked through the middle comes out clean.
- It burns easily, so it might be an idea to cover with foil after around 30 minutes.
- When baked, leave it to cool in the mould for 15 minutes.
- Then, remove it from the mould, put it on a cooling rack and let it cool down to room temperature.
