- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
