1can500 gr pineapple chunks in juice, drained well and patted dry
For the glaze; 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar1 tbsp of fresh lime juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F (or 200C). Grease a 12-cup Bundtpan and dust with flour. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and toast until just golden, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Take care not to burn the coconut. Set aside to cool completely.
Combine the eggs, sour cream and vanilla in a large measuring cup and lightly beat. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
Combine the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and cream with an electric mixer on medium high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice if necessary.
With the mixer on medium-low speed, pour 1/3 of the egg mixture into the bowl in a slow stream. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture. Add another 1/3 of the egg mixture and another 1/3 of the flour mixture. Add the remaining egg mixture and then the remaining flour mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Stir in the toasted coconut and the pineapple chunks.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 10 hour and 10 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the glaze; Whisk together the confectioners sugar and lime juice in a medium bowl. Place the cake on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Drizzle the glaze over the cake, allowing it to run down the sides of the cake. Let the glaze set for 30 minutes before slicing and serving
Notes: I found the given time in the oven quite long so I checked at 45 minutes and found that the cake was already done at that point so I took it out of the oven. And it was perfectly done, so make sure to check from time to time to prevent overcooking the cake. It's lovely and if you make sure you pat the pineapple dry well enough it will not be too moist (something I was afraid of at first) The taste of coconut was subtle but overal the cake is rather sweet but delicious!
