Pineapple cake with coconut shavings
I know it’s already November and pineapple cake with coconut flavor is not really in season anymore in Switzerland, where I live.
But on the other hand, it doesn’t hurt to get some tropical sun into your heart before winter. ?
And on the other hand, pineapple is always an exotic fruit for us.
You can either make this pineapple cake with fresh pineapple or you can use canned pineapple.
