Or doughnuts.
Is this a problem?
This cake is gorgeous. And huge. And if you can’t eat it all? I understand.
Make big slices, wrap them individually in wax paper (or parchment). Put the individually wrapped slices in a ziploc or air-tight container and freeze them. Bring them out of the freezer to thaw (about one hour) and enjoy.

My freezer is stocked right now with baked goods…who’s coming over for coffee?

Pina Colada Waffles by Mrs. Schwartz’s Kitchen
Pina Colada Pound Cake
by Shugary Sweets
Ingredients (serves 12)
For the Cake:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3 cup granulated sugar
- 5 eggs
- 3 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 2 tsp rum flavoring
For the Glaze:
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp rum flavoring
- 1 cup sweetened coconut (toasted)
Instructions
Toast coconut by laying on baking sheet and putting in a 225 degree oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes, turning every ten minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add in sugar and rum flavoring, beating until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time.
In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Slowly add flour mixtures to mixing bowl, alternating with sour cream until fully mixed. Fold in crushed pineapple.
Pour into a well greased and floured bundt pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 85-90 minutes. This makes a very big cake that will puff up over the top of your pan. It’s okay.
Remove from oven and allow to cool about 15 minutes in pan. Invert onto a wire rack and cool completely.
For the glaze, whisk the milk, rum and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle on cooled cake and immediately sprinkle with toasted coconut. ENJOY!

Oh my yummy goodness!! I just bought my first bundt pan a few days ago so I think this pound cake might just be the thing I need
Problem? No. Gift? YES.
I love anything and everything alco–I mean, pina colada-based. Can’t wait to try this–thanks for sharing!
Did you say coffee?! I’m there!
I love the look of pound cakes and bundt cakes, so fancy!
“I think I have a habit of wanting to turn my favorite alcoholic beverages into desserts.” — me too! And I actually use real rum not just flavoring — haha! May as well FULLY enjoy things
This cake looks great. Ive made pina colada cookies, and last week made Malibu Rum Fruit Loops Treats and have made dark rum oatmeal raisin cookies – girl, I am a FAN!
Can you believe I was out of REAL rum? I know….
Oh my! I love anything with coconut. Even better with pina colada.
Agreed!
I wish I had a piece of this cake right now!
Leftovers? For this cake? I’m sorry, but I don’t understand.
I want to eat the whole thing! So luscious and coconutty.
Okay if that is the case I’m putting in my request for anything that tastes like peach schnapps! (Half joking, half super serious) haha :O)
OMG, what an awesome idea! And I’m being super serious!
Oh and I forgot to add -that looks delicious!! Pinning this
*Best Shrek voice* “Pick me, oh pick me!” I’d be straight over for a tea (coffee = eww) and some baked goods. Or skip the tea and we’ll just eat enough of this to p-a-r-t-a-y!

Holy gorgousness!! (Is that a word?, if not it should be) this cake makes me speechless. Just simply beautiful and yummy!!
I see no problem at all:-) and yes, I’m headed over for coffee and a huge piece of this fabulous cake again!!! It was incredibly delicious:-)
Totally forgot I had this out when you came over
Awww, come back for coffee and cake!!!
I am all about turning my favorite alcoholic bevs into desserts. Hello margarita cupcakes! Pineapple, coconut, rum… three of my favorite summer things. This cake makes me want to make a mad dash for the beach and sip on some fruity cocktails – and dive straight into a huge chunk of it.
Sounds like it’s perfect for what I am after. Yum!
Yum! What a great combo!
My husband’s favorite dessert is a coconut pound cake. I love the pina colada twist to it!
I like to think that, if the apocalypse hits, I will be well stocked in frozen desserts. This cake would be a good addition!
You and me both sistah!
Our power went out a few weeks ago and a neighbor said, I hope it stays out long enough that Shugs pulls all her baked goods out of the freezer.
People are catching on to my shenanigans.
Who says that? Shenanigans.
Tough word to spell too!
That looks amazing! I am printing the recipe to make the next time we have friends over.
You caught my attention with Pina Colada! It looks delicious
Alcohol mixed with cake…how could that possibly be a bad thing?
I agree!!
Oh, I’ve never had this flavor Pound Cake before, sounds yummy. Will have to try it out.
I’ve been looking at your FB page for this cake for the past few days. It looks amazing. I love Pina Coladas.
