Whip up a slice of paradise with this Pineapple Coconut Bundt Cake, where easy meets tropical in a rich, moist base that starts with just an angel food cake mix. Perfect for a potluck, its sweet Pina Colada-inspired pineapple glaze will transport your taste buds straight to the tropics, all made with simple pantry staples.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan with butter or baking spray. Set aside.
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.
