Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch sheet pan or baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Stir in the flour mixture gradually, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.

Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and sweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

To prepare the glaze, sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar into a medium bowl.

Step 11

Stir in the melted butter, dark rum, and milk, whisking until a smooth and pourable consistency is achieved. Add more milk if necessary.

Step 12

Once the cake has completely cooled, pour the chocolate rum glaze over the top and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 13

Allow the glaze to set for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 14

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
