First up, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, coat two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the pan bottoms with parchment paper.
2. Creating the Cake Batter
Mix 2 and 1/2 cups of cake flour, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a big bowl. In another bowl, beat 1 cup of unsalted butter and 2 cups of sugar until fluffy.
Next, add and beat in 4 egg whites, one by one. Add 1 cup of sour cream, 1 teaspoon of coconut extract, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour in 1/2 cup of pineapple juice and 1/2 cup of coconut milk. Mix this all together.
Blend the dry ingredients into the wet ones gently until just mixed. Fold in 1 cup of pineapple chunks and 1/2 cup of shredded coconut.
3. Baking the Cake
Evenly divide the batter into the pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
4. Making the Pineapple Curd
While the cakes bake, make the pineapple curd. Mix 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, 1/4 cup of cornstarch, 1 cup of sugar, and a bit of salt in a pan. Add 1 cup of crushed pineapple.
Heat on medium, stir until it’s thick like pudding. Take off heat and mix in 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. Cool the pineapple curd in a bowl.
5. Preparing the Cream Cheese Frosting
For the frosting, whip up 8 ounces of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of butter until creamy. Slowly add 4 cups of confectioners’ sugar. Mix in 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice or coconut milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a bit of salt. Blend until smooth.
6. Assembling the Cake
After your cakes have cooled, take them out neatly. Put one layer on your serving plate. Spread cream cheese frosting on it. Add a layer of pineapple curd. Then, put the second cake layer on top.
Spread frosting and pineapple curd. Finish by frosting the whole cake. Use a spatula to make it smooth. Add pineapple chunks and coconut on top for a tropical look.
Now, sit back and enjoy this slice of your paradise – the homemade pineapple coconut cake!

FAQ
