Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the crushed pineapple and coconut milk until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until combined.
- Fold in the sweetened shredded coconut.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and coconut milk until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake and sprinkle with shredded coconut before serving.
