Instructions

  • Heat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment.
  • Drain pineapple well. Press with paper towels to remove extra moisture.
  • Bring ingredients to room temperature. This ensures a smooth, even batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar: Beat butter and sugar on medium speed for 3–4 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time: Mix well after each addition. Scrape the bowl as needed.
  • Whisk dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Combine wet ingredients: Stir coconut milk, sour cream, vanilla, and coconut extract together.
  • Add dry and wet in turns: Mix in one-third of the flour, then half the coconut milk mixture, and repeat, ending with flour. Mix just until incorporated.
  • Fold in pineapple and coconut: Gently fold with a spatula to avoid overmixing. Add rum if using.
  • Fill the pan: Smooth the top and tap the pan to release air bubbles.
  • Bake 55–70 minutes for a bundt; 60–75 minutes for a loaf. Check for doneness with a skewer—moist crumbs are fine, but no wet batter.
  • Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly around the 45-minute mark.
  • Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a rack to cool completely.
  • Whisk the glaze ingredients until smooth and pourable. Adjust with more coconut milk to thin or powdered sugar to thicken.
  • Drizzle over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with toasted coconut if you like.
  • Let the glaze set 20–30 minutes before slicing.
