Everyone knows that Aunt Ky loves all things Hawaii. This includes coconuts and pineapples. Not surprisingly, this is one of her favorite cakes passed on from Gigi’s mom. Aunt Ky’s daughter had the idea of adding the food coloring to make it look more fun to eat. Maybe that is why she is enjoying making cupcakes right now also.
If you leave out the food coloring, you’ll have a classic white cake that still tastes delicious. If you like this recipe, try out another recipe passed on from Gigi’s mom: Cream Cheese Pound Cake.
