Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the coconut milk and pineapple juice. Fold in the pineapple chunks and shredded coconut.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cake is cooled, spread whipped cream over the top and sides. Garnish with maraschino cherries, if desired.
-
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Slice and enjoy!
