Cake
- In a large bowl mix together angel food cake mix and 1 can of crushed pineapple with a spoon. It will mix easily and foam up.
- Add half of the can of pineapple tidbits and ¾ cup coconut flakes into the batter, and stir together. Retain the pineapple juice.
- Pour batter into the Bundt pan. Place in oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, checking at 40 minutes for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. Cake is done when it turns golden brown and the toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from oven when done, and allow to cool on a cooling rack. After 20 minutes, loosen cakes from the sides and center with a skewer or small flat kitchen tool. Place the cooling rack on top of the cake, and holding them tightly together, flip it over. Allow to cool on the rack until cool, then transfer to cake plate.
Glaze
- In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar with 3 or 4 tablespoons of the pineapple juice you retained from the tidbits. Mix together until smooth.
- Drizzle over the cake, allowing some of the glaze to run down the side. Sprinkle remaining coconut flakes over the glaze.
Notes
To check the doneness of your cake, employ the toothpick method. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake approximately 40 minutes into the baking process. The cake is ready when the toothpick emerges clean or with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. If the toothpick has wet batter on it, the cake is not yet done.
