PINA COLADA CAKE (HYBRID PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE)
This is a hybrid pineapple upside-down cake which I've developed over the years. Instead of pineapple rings, I use crushed pineapple, coconut, and honey. It is very important to cool the mixture of butter and brown sugar before covering it with the rest of the ingredients, preventing the layer of pineapple and the cake mix from mixing prematurely. Makes one 9x13 baking pan.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat a 9x13-inch glass baking pan over low heat on the stove. Add 1 stick butter and heat until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover with brown sugar, mashing it into the butter using a fork. Let cool and refrigerate baking pan until butter hardens, about 15 minutes.
- Remove baking pan from the refrigerator and cover brown sugar mixture with an even layer of crushed pineapple.
- Blend cake mix, 1 cup reserved pineapple juice, eggs, and 1/3 cup melted butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until moistened. Beat on low speed for 2 additional minutes and allow batter to thicken, about 3 minutes. Add honey and coconut.
- Pour batter over the crushed pineapple in the baking pan, smoothing to an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Serve while still warm. Cut cake and flip over onto plates, with brown sugar and pineapple on top.

PINA COLADA UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
Upside down cakes are fun and tasty. This version substitutes coconut milk for oil and water. We've never tried this before, but we plan to try this method with other cakes. The outcome is the softest, fluffiest cake. Using rum extract adds to the pina colada flavors. Once baked, the pineapple, pecans, and brown sugar caramelize...

PINA COLADA UPSIDE-DOWN CAKES
Steps:
- Position a rack in the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. If using a muffin pan that's not nonstick, spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Stir together the brown sugar, rum and 3 tablespoons of the coconut oil in a small bowl. Pour about 1 tablespoon into each cup of a 6-cup nonstick jumbo muffin pan.
- Place 1 pineapple ring in each muffin cup, then put 1 cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
- Finely mince the remaining 2 pineapple rings until the texture resembles crushed pineapple; transfer to a large bowl. Add the lime juice, coconut milk and granulated sugar and the remaining 4 tablespoons coconut oil. Whisk to combine. Add the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups (about a heaping 1/4 cup in each). Use the back of a small spoon to smooth the tops. Transfer the muffin pan to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the center springs back when you lightly press the top a cake, about 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Set a wire rack inside another rimmed baking sheet and spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray. Run a small offset spatula around the edge of each cake, then carefully invert the cakes onto the prepared rack. Let cool for 20 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, remove the chilled heavy coconut cream from the refrigerator. Scoop the solid coconut cream from the top of the can (about 1 cup), leaving behind the coconut water and reserving it. Whip the coconut cream with a handheld mixer on high speed in a large bowl until smooth, creamy and very soft peaks form. If the cream is too thick, whip in 1 teaspoon of the reserved coconut water at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Add the lime zest and confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Top the cakes with large dollops of the whipped coconut cream. Serve immediately.
