Steph is finally back from her honeymoon in Hawaii. I missed her so much while she was gone that I thought I would bring a little island flavor to my home. 🙂
It may not be as good as a trip to Hawaii, but this cake is the next best thing! It is so moist and flavorful you’ll forget your just in your kitchen!

Hi there, so you don't use oil or eggs like directed on the cake mix?
-
I made the cake without eggs and oil one time. The next time, I followed the directions on the cake box...so much better! Worth the extra ingredients.
-
Did you drain the pineapple juice when you followed the directions on the box?

I also want to know if you use the eggs and oil and if you use the directions on the cake mix.
-
I used the recipe on the cake box mix with the eggs and oil but eliminated the water. The can of pineapple had enough liquid. I added 1/4 cup all purpose flour to the batter. I did not need a glaze. The result was a cake so moist and perfectly composed. I baked in a dark coated bundt pan for 40 minutes at 325F. Make sure you coat the bundt pan with flour after using a cooking spray.

Mmmmm! That looks delish! My husband and I went on our honeymoon to Hawaii too! :)

Love this recipe and wish I could share it on my Penniless Hearts page on FB. Penniless Hearts is my romantic adventure about Hawaii and this cake would make it perfect. Please stop by and add a link and possibly a 'like'.

Yesterday I made your pineapple-coconut cake. I have to say it is an aquire taste. One thing is for sure it makes a perfect "Depression Era" dessert and vegan dessert. The best part is not adding any oil or eggs.
-
I added two eggs and it was incredibly moist.
-
I did add one egg. Baked as cupcakes, didn't need icing. Seriously good !
-
It had a strange texture. Probably due to no eggs. Unfortunately, it looked pretty but we had a lot of leftovers and left on plate-overs. Sorry..
-
K....I had to read the recipe several times - no eggs, no oil, no water as on the box instructions!!! I just couldn't bring myself to eliminate the above so I went ahead and included the ingredients required on the box then added the pineapple & coconut....moist & good. Makes a great "base cake"! I wouldn't make again....too many other great bundt/cake recipes out there! Sorry!!!

ok....I need a cake for my church picnic, "Cake Walk".....and want to try this. Coconut Pineapple Bundt and I too, am leary about no eggs, oil, etc. I know you said, just follow the directions. ...but this scares me, will this cake rise to a height where I will not be embarrassed to show it? I love bundt cakes, and if you could instruct me as to how many eggs and oil, etc. I would love to try this.

TOTAL DISASTER! I've never made a bad cake in my life (I'm 71), until now. I followed the directions exactly including cooling in the pan for 90 min. It stuck to the pan, it broke apart when I finally got it out and it tasted terrible, you couldn't taste the pineapple or the coconut, just tasted bad. I'm so disappointed! Thank goodness I have enough time to bake another (different cake) before I head out to the party.
-
I made this for a birthday and it went flat and when I cut it still under baked even though the toothpick came out clean. What size bundt pan did you use?
-
1 1/2 hrs prep time? Are you serious.
-
I will folllow the recipe and I will add baking powder and after baking the cake I would poke the cake and add pineapple juice and refrigerate it for 30 minutes and by the way I would toast my coconut ❤️
