PINA COLADA CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare the cake: Poke holes all over the tops of the 2 cake layers using a toothpick. Brush the cakes with the pineapple juice, letting it soak into the holes; set aside.
• Make the filling: Bring the dried pineapple, pineapple juice, cream of coconut and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the dried pineapple is soft and the liquid is reduced to a thick syrup, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then mash with a potato masher to make a chunky jam.
• Make the frosting: Beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add the cream of coconut, increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat until thick, 2 to 3 more minutes. Assemble the cake: Place 1 cake layer on a platter; spread the pineapple filling on top, stopping about 1/2 inch from the edge. Top with the second cake layer and press down gently. Cover the whole cake with the coconut frosting. Top with the toasted coconut and dried pineapple.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch-round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper; butter the parchment and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
• Whisk 3 cups flour, the baking powder and salt in a bowl until combined. Beat 2 sticks butter and the sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium; beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. (The mixture may look separated at this point.)
• Mix 1/2 cup water with the cream in a liquid measuring cup or bowl. Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour, until just smooth.
• Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are lightly golden on top and the centers spring back when pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

PIñA COLADA CAKE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• Spray your cakelet or cake bite pan wells with baking spray (not cooking spray) and use a pastry brush to make sure they have a thorough coating.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. It is best if they are at room temperature. You may need to warm the oil in the microwave.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
• Spoon the batter into the cake bite wells and bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until they pass the "toothpick test". For larger cakelets or a loaf pan, it may take 45 minutes to be done.
• For the glaze, combine both ingredients in a small saucepan over medium low heat and allow to simmer for a couple of minutes.
• Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes on a wire rack before attempting to remove them from their wells. These are soft cakes so they may come apart if they are still too warm. The edge of a silicone spatula may help to lift them out.
• Use a pastry brush to gently glaze the top of each bite and allow them to dry on a wire rack for at least an hour.

PINA COLADA LAYER CAKE

Steps:

• Cake Directions:.
• Blend cake mix, pudding mix, coconut milk, eggs, and oil in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed for 4 minutes. Stir in coconut and walnuts. Pour into 2 greased and floured 8 or 9 inch round pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes (first check in 20 min).
• Cool in pans for 15 minutes, remove and cool on rack. You will probably have to level off one of the cakes to use for the bottom layer for a more even fit.
• Frosting Directions:.
• Melt 1 tablespoons of butter in skillet, add coconut and stir constantly over low heat until golden brown. Spread coconut on cookie sheet lined with paper towels to cool, occasionally mixing around and patting to remove some of the butter. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat butter on medium til creamy. Add cream cheese & vanilla, beat til fully blended. Gradually increase speed to high. Continue til light & fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing first by hand until sugar is blended. Then add 3/4 cup toasted coconut and mix with electric mixer until well blended. Chill for about 10-15 minute before frosting cake. Frost the top of the bottom layer, then place layer of pineapple (I use the whole can, minus the juice of course) on top of the middle frosting. Continue frosting the rest of the cake. Sprinkle remaining toasted coconut on top of cake.
