I came up with this after mistakenly buying cream of coconut, thinking it was coconut cream. Cream of coconut is usually used for making pina coladas (e.g. Coco Goya® Cream of Coconut) and is not the same thing as coconut cream. It turned out so great I had to go back and buy another can!

Ingredients

  • brown sugar: 0.25 cup
  • butter: 0.25 cup
  • unsweetened coconut flakes: 7 Tbsp
  • all-purpose flour: 2 cups
  • baking powder: 0.75 tsp
  • salt: 0.25 tsp
  • egg whites: 2 piece
  • white sugar: 1 cup (divided)

  • cream of coconut: 1 can (15 ounce can)
  • pineapple chunks, juice reserved: 1 can (8 ounce can, divided)

  4. Beat 1/2 cup white sugar and 7 1/3 tablespoons butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add remaining 1/2 cup white sugar, cream of coconut, reserved pineapple juice, egg yolks, and vanilla extract; mix thoroughly. Add the flour mixture; stir batter slowly until fully combined. Fold in the whipped egg whites using a spatula.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until tops are brown and crisp and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool, about 25 minutes. Flip cakes over onto a serving plate and out of the baking pans.
