Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a Bundt cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Dust the pan with flour, tapping out any excess. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and coconut extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
-
Gently fold in the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and rum (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
-
Bake the Aloha Bundt Cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve the Aloha Bundt Cake either plain or dusted with powdered sugar for a simple finishing touch. Enjoy a slice of this tropical treat with a cup of coffee or tea, and let the flavors transport you to a sunny island getaway.
