Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix + 1 additional egg
  • Pineapple juice in place of water

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups flaked coconut
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons coconut extract

For the Glaze:

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons pineapple juice

Garnish:

  • sweetened coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Prepare filling, by mixing all of the ingredients witha fork. Starting first with the eggs, adding the sugar, and vanilla, then the coconut and flour. Set aside.
  • Prepare bundt cake as directed on the cake mix box, adding one additional egg and replacing the water with pineapple juice.
  • Pour about 1/2 of the cake mix into your bundt pan. Now spoon filling in a “tunnel” on top of the batter. Be careful not to let the filling touch the pan. You can find step by step instructions for the tunnel here.
  • Pour and evenly cover the tunnel with the rest of the batter.
  • Bake the cake for 35-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan for 20-30 minutes and turn onto a plate to cool the rest of the way.
  • Drizzle with glaze and sprinkle with coconut.
