Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 0.5 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and coconut milk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the crushed pineapple, lime zest, and sweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cake has cooled slightly (but is still warm), drizzle the glaze over the top.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your tropical coffee cake with a cup of your favorite brew!
