Coconut Pineapple Bundt Cake
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 3 cups (packed) sweetened flaked coconut (about 10 1/2 ounces)
- 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
- 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons creme de cacao
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk (not low-fat)
- 1 3/4 cups confectioners sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons pineapple juice
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Generously butter a 3-quart Bundt pan; dust the pan with flour, shaking out any excess.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the flour with 2 cups of the flaked coconut, the pineapple, and walnuts; set aside.
- Whisk together the remaining 2 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla and creme de cacao.
- Alternately stir in batches of the flour and 1 cup of the coconut milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture.
- Fold in the coconut-pineapple-nut mixture.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and use a rubber spatula to smooth the top.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Turn the cake out onto a wire rack; cool completely.
- While the cake cools, place the remaining cup of flaked coconut on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes, until golden brown.
- To make the glaze, whisk the confectioners sugar, pine-apple juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons coconut milk in a medium bowl to blend.
- Spoon the glaze over the cooled cake, then garnish with toasted flaked coconut.
- Allow the glaze to set for at least 15 minutes before serving.
