PINEAPPLE COCONUT LOAF CAKE

Pineapple coconut loaf cake is so good, you’ll want to make it over and over.

This Pineapple Coconut Loaf Cake makes a great dessert to serve family and friends. If you like pineapple and coconut, you will love this cake. We like the glaze below on the cake because it just adds more pineapple taste. The cake smells great while cooking and you will be ready to sample it when it comes out of the oven. I can eat it for breakfast with a cup of coffee.  You might also like our recipe for this old fashioned fruit cocktail lunchbox cake.
