No, I did not name this recipe. It’s an old Southern recipe that consists of moist yellow cake soaked in pineapple syrup, topped with whipped cream and coconut. I updated the recipe to include rum, and I used coconut oil because I think the extra coconut flavor makes this better than better than sex cake. If you’re looking for a coconut oil to try, can I recommend Kelapo brand? They sent me the most lovely little jar of the stuff and I can’t get enough. However, you may also make this cake with all butter, as it is simply my lemon layer cake recipe minus the lemon juice and zest. I had a lot of fun searching through my old church cookbooks finding variations of this cake, all with more G-rated names. I found: Heavenly Delight, Pineapple Coconut Sin cake, Good (no, GREAT) Pineapple Cake, BTS cake (no explanation for the acronym), Special Pina Colada Cake, and Best Cake To Make. Feel free to use any of these alternate names when serving this cake, especially to in-laws.
