Indulge in a tropical pina colada upside-down cake for a sweet celebration.
Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup butter
  • 7 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup white sugar, divided
  • 7.3333334922791 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream of coconut
  • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved, divided
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously grease 2 baking pans.
  • Combine brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and coconut flakes in a microwave-safe container. Microwave for 2 minutes until warm, then stir into a smooth paste.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a clean metal bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream together 1/2 cup white sugar and 7 1/3 tablespoons of butter until creamy. Mix in the rest of the white sugar, cream of coconut, reserved pineapple juice, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly stir in the flour mixture until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites with a spatula.
  • Evenly coat the bottoms of the pans with the luscious brown sugar paste. Layer on the sweet pineapple chunks, then gently pour in the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown and crispy and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, approximately 1 hour. Allow the cakes to cool for about 25 minutes, then gently invert them onto a serving plate to release from the baking pans.
