Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices, drained
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the melted butter in a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
  2. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter.
  3. Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice, and sprinkle the shredded coconut around the pineapple slices.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with the coconut milk, until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter over the pineapple and coconut in the baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate while it's still warm.
  10. Serve the Pineapple and Coconut Upside-Down Cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
