Description
A delicious and visually stunning Pineapple Coconut Birthday Drip Cake that combines tropical flavors with a beautiful drip effect.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup white chocolate, melted (for drip)
- 1 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- Shredded coconut (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the coconut milk, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- For the frosting, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cakes are cool, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of the cake for the drip effect.
- Decorate with shredded coconut and any additional toppings as desired.
Notes
- Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to avoid a soggy cake.
- For a stronger coconut flavor, use coconut extract in addition to vanilla.
- This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
