I have been on a serious Pina Colada kick lately. It’s my favorite flavor aside from chocolate. And I thought, hey—if you can make a pineapple upside down cake, why can’t you make a pineapple and coconut coffee cake? So, I went in search of a recipe and found this one on www.food.com. Apparently, it’s one of the more popular recipes for pineapple cake. I made it up, and doctored it a little (added coconut to the batter.)
It looked like cake. It smelled like cake. But it tasted like a whole lotta nothing. I was so disappointed I didn’t even take a picture of it before pitching it.
But, I still had time to try something else. Since I was out of canned pineapple, I thought I’d go with Mel's Homemade Yellow Cake. It, too, was a disappointment, but maybe it’s just me. The cake turned out fine, but when I think of yellow cake, I think of the vivid yellow and airy/spongy texture that comes from boxed cake mix. And I like that. Mel’s yellow cake was on the dry, heavy side.
Oh well. There’s always next week!
