Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Pan and Oven
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan thoroughly, making sure all crevices are coated to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar and beat for 4–5 minutes until light, fluffy, and pale. This step is essential for a tall, tender pound cake.
Step 4: Add Eggs and Flavoring
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5: Finish the Batter
- On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and coconut milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut until just combined.
