βœ… Preparation:

Cake:

  1. Beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  2. Add the milk and melted butter, mixing well.

  3. Gradually add the flour until a smooth batter forms. Finally, add the baking powder and mix gently.

  4. Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Pineapple Filling:

  1. In a saucepan, place the chopped pineapple, sugar, and water.

  2. Cook over medium heat until the pineapple is soft and the liquid has reduced to a thick syrup. Set aside.

Coconut Cream:

  1. In another saucepan, mix the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, whole milk, and cornstarch.

  2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.

  3. Once it reaches a creamy consistency, remove from heat and mix in the shredded coconut.

Cake Assembly:

  1. Slice the cake into two or three layers, depending on its height.

  2. On the first layer, spread a generous amount of the pineapple filling, then add the coconut cream.

  3. Repeat the process with the remaining layers. Finish by covering the cake with whipped cream or fresh whipped topping.

  4. Decorate with shredded coconut and pineapple pieces.

Chilling:

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.


Tips to Make the Cake Even Tastier:

  • Use a ripe and sweet pineapple to enhance the flavor of the filling.

  • For an extra touch, add a tablespoon of rum or vanilla extract to the coconut cream.
