Aloha Hawaiian Pineapple Butter Cake – #BundtBakers

When asked by All That’s Left Are The Crumbs to create a Bundt cake based on the theme of “Dad’s Favorite Cake,” all I could think was, “Not another carrot cake.” You see, carrot cake is probably one of the few cakes that my father actually enjoys. Like the rest of our family, he is also a detester of all things icing, and will almost always go for pie instead. Unless of course my Great Aunt Celia’s Carrot Cake just happens to be kicking around.

I’ve made Aunt Celia’s Carrot Cake more times than I can count, either straight from the recipe, simplified as this Simple Carrot Cake, or all gussied up and strutting its stuff for the world to see like this Celia’s Carrot Cake with Pineapple Rum Filling and Vanilla Cream Cheese Buttercream. Sorry Dad, I know you love that darn cake but I just couldn’t do it. I promise that I will eventually make it again, just not now.



Instead, I decided to make you a cake that would take you back in time to Hawaii where you were stationed in the Navy. I’ve always enjoyed hearing all of your insanely entertaining stories about the islands and your youth, especially the one where you were pulled over by the police for riding a bike down a HUGE HAWAIIAN MOUNTAIN with absolutely no brakes. That story means even more to me now after experiencing that HUGE HAWAIIAN MOUNTAIN in person on a cherished once-in-a-lifetime dream vacation trip to Oahu with B.O.B. Bob.
