Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 cups canned crushed pineapple (drained, juice reserved)
• 0.5 cups coconut milk
• 0.5 cups mango puree
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups coconut flakes
• 0.25 cups powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, coconut milk, 1/4 cup of the reserved pineapple juice, mango puree, and crushed pineapple.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the coconut flakes gently with a spatula.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

Step 9

Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, optionally dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your Tropical Miracle Cake with a cup of tea or coffee, or serve it with a dollop of whipped cream for an added treat!
