Ingredients
For the Cake
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
Optional Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons pineapple juice or coconut milk
How to Make Piña Colada Pound Cake
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or bundt pan to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This step helps create the cake’s soft texture. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the coconut milk. Mix gently until just combined.

Fold in the drained crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and coconut extract if using. Stir carefully to avoid overmixing the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the glaze. To prepare the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with pineapple juice or coconut milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
Tips for the Best Pound Cake
Drain the pineapple well to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
Use room temperature butter and eggs for a smoother batter.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cake soft and tender.
Let the cake cool fully before glazing for the best presentation.
Toasted coconut on top adds extra flavor and texture.
