Step-by-Step Instructions for Pineapple Coconut Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.
  6. Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple and shredded coconut.
  7. Grease and flour your cake pan thoroughly before pouring in the batter.
  8. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
