How to Make Hawaiian Dream Cake

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350F.

Add all the cake ingredients in the bowl of your stand mixer except the pineapple and coconut. Mix until well combined.

Prepare 2 round pans by lining them with parchment paper. Equally divide the batter into the prepared pans. Tap to remove air bubbles.
