Pina Colada Cake

This cake is the best ever! Not to much coconut, pineapple, rum or too sweet. Everyone gulped it down and asked for the recipe. The cake makes a great presentation and can be topped with maraschino cherries to make it pretty if serving at a party or brunch.

After Cool slightly; remove from pan. With a large fork or skewer poke holes about 1 inch apart in cake almost to bottom. Use a half of Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut can and 2 tablespoons of rum flavoring, combine cream of coconut and rum; pour over cake. Chill thoroughly then garnish. Store in refrigerator for a several hours or overnight. I made this cake to bring to a luau themed party and I should have made 2! Its moist, its easy to make and it tastes really wonderful. I have had 5 requests for this recipe! I frosted it with whipped cream and chopped macadamia nuts. In the future I may use toasted coconut too.

    Yum! This was so rich. I made a couple of changes. Walmart didn't have the pineapple extract, so I used Triple Sec. And when I was mixing the icing, I forgot to put in the other can of pineapple. But it was still so very, very good. The cake was amazingly rich!

    This is so tasty and so easy to do. I had a white cake mix that I wanted to jazz up and this was perfect. I made the mistake of using a 14oz can of pineapple and it still worked well, but it did take longer to bake and is really really moist. I also used pineapple rum and coconut rum in place of the flavouring, and skipped the rum flavouring. Thanks so much!
