Wowie! Only 5 people reviewed this fabulous coffee cake as I write this? I can only assume hundreds more have tried it, loved it, but unfortunately didn't post a review! What a wonderful surprise this cake was. Moist, yes MOIST, no doubt from both the sour cream and the vegetable oil, neither of which can be beat to ensure a moist cake. I made no changes whatsoever--good call because this cake certainly couldn't have been any better. I wouldn't substitute brown sugar for the white sugar as other reviewers have done, as this is SO lightly coconut, SO lightly pineapple and cinnamon, that it definitely called for the lightness of the white sugar. Others noted the coconut on their cake got too brown. This is solved simply by covering the cake lightly with a sheet of aluminum foil during the last several minutes of baking. There are coffee cakes, most of which are either dry or boring, and then there are coffee cakes--like this one. Delicately tropical, certainly different, and down right delicious. Thanks for sharing your aunt's recipe!
