PIñA COLADA TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or in a bowl with a stand mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar on medium high speed until thick and pale in color, and falls in ribbons when you lift the whisk, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the coconut milk, vanilla and rum. Gently fold in the flour mixture.
• In another mixing bowl (you can also transfer the batter to another bowl and clean the mixing bowl), beat the egg whites on medium high speed to soft peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the rest of the batter in 3 additions. Stir in half of the pineapple chunks.
• Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle the remaining pineapple on top of the batter. Bake until cake is golden brown and the center bounces back when touched gently, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Combine the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. Add the vanilla and rum.
• Use a skewer or fork to poles holes in the cake, pressing them all the way down to the bottom. Pour the leches mixture over the cake, careful to cover it all. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight (see Notes).
• Whip the heavy cream until it starts to thicken. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and whip to soft peaks. Spread the whipped cream on top of the cake. Top with the toasted coconut, slices of pineapple and maraschino cherries.
• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
