Recently, the newlywed chavurah from my synagogue — of which Kenny and I are still members, despite our clearly non-newlywed status — got together for a potluck bbq at the home of our friends, Jan and Ben. I wracked my brain for what to bring, but remembered the perfect summer-themed treat: my Pineapple Coconut Coffee Cake.
With its sweet layer of crumb topping and crushed pineapple swirled though the middle, it has a tropical flavor that cannot be beat.
Even avid pineapple and coconut haters, like my friend, Adam, took second helpings of this one.
If your next island adventure is a long time coming, this is a coffee cake you won’t want to miss.
