Coconut and Pineapple pound cake

13 May Coconut and Pineapple pound cake

If you are a coconut lover like I am, you will love this combo of pineapple and coconut in a cake. It is perfect for an afternoon picnic with your friends. Now with a toddler that loves to go outside, I have to think about this kind of options that are easy to transport and enjoy everywhere. 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup of shredded coconut

1 can of diced pineapple drained

1 cup of pineapple juice plus cream to complete.

1/2 cup butter at room temperature

1 1/2 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup sugar

3 eggs

Prep:

• Preheat the oven a 180°C and grease a loaf pan with some parchment paper on the bottom. Set aside. 
• Sift the flour and baking soda in a bowl and set aside. 
• In a mixer beat the butter with the sugar until it becomes a cream. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. 
• Measure the pineapple juice and complete with cream to have a cup of liquid. 
• Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients (flour and soda) to the butter mixture. Beat and add 1/2 of the liquids. Repeat one more time and finally add the remaining dry ingredients. Mix well. 
• Finally, add the coconut and diced pineapple. Pour the mixture over the loaf pan and bake for 70 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean. Let it rest for 10 minutes and enjoy it with your favourite cup of tea or coffee.
