Tropical Pineapple Coconut Cake Delight

Ingredients

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups pineapple tidbits, drained
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of softened butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

4. Add Eggs:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will ensure that they are fully incorporated and the batter remains smooth.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Add Pineapple and Coconut:
Gently fold in the pineapple tidbits and shredded coconut using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with the spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Cool and Dust with Powdered Sugar:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. Once cool, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar before serving.
