Pina Colada Coconut, Pineapple & Rum Layer Cake | Recipe and Decoration tutorial | Cupcake Jemma

[@leonadunbar1422]

When you just wake up from night shift. And a cake combined with your favourite cocktail is posted. Might just need to stay glued to the bed and enjoy. 🌴🌴

[@CupcakeJemma]

Yeah stay in bed and watch us bake cakes!

[@danepemberton136]

Sounds good to me! 🍍

I made this the first time on the weekend and the jam, syrup, flowers and buttercream were to die for, but had no SR flour so made the sponge with plain flour + baking powder. They cratered and had a disastrous texture. I watched the sponge tutorial then went back to ‘settle the score’ with the pinia colada sponge tonight, this time using SR flour and paying more attention to creaming butter, sugar and oil. Well, this time the sponges turned out LIKE HEAVENLY CLOUD ANGEL SPONGE PILLOWS!! There is no better source of cake recipes on the interweb than Cupcake Jemma. The measurements are precise and, in my experience, if you properly follow the method (no shortcuts!) the cakes and cookies are reliably flawless, every time. Thanks again, team Dane and Jemma!

[@happysummer3423]

I’m going to make this, it looks delicious. Name suggestion “let’s cake about it” also love Dane, he is just so lovely

[@MardiEaston]

Just made this for a friend’s birthday. It turned out so beautiful and I had so many comments. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!! ❤

[@dr-k1667]

This is the next level of an old classic from the USA the pineapple upside down cake with coconut! If you like the classic, you are going to love this!! I would buy two if I visited the shop, one to eat immediately and the other to savor. Great recipe Cupcake Jemma and crew! Thanks for always sharing tasty treats.

[@CupcakeJemma]

Thanks! 😘

[@kairitukeeru]

Dane!!! You are the man! I made this cake for my birthday and it was a hit! The texture of the coconut flakes mixed with the pineapple goo and swiss meringue icing - chef's kiss! The only thing I would add is that those cake tins need to be lined. My cakes were kinda difficult to pry out but still an awesome result. I'm baking this again soon because why not?? This channel is the best!

I have Gemma's fav piping tip though I haven't used it 🤦‍♀️ I bought it to help me get the buttercreams on the sides of my cakes faster but I need to find a bigger piping bag because that's one big ole piping nozzle, lol. Never thought to use it the way Dane did for decorating. Love the look of that. Thanks for the idea... 👍

[@CupcakeJemma]

Yeah, it’s really fun but you do need a lot of buttercream and a big piping bag to make it count. The wiggles are my favourite though!

[@NNSSS11]

This cake looks divine. Thank you for all the awesome videos! I'd love to try it for my little's birthday party. Can I do the buttercream without the rum? Will it still smash? 🍍

[@katm7992]

woah! so cool about adding the rum to the Swiss meringue buttercream! would the same thing happen with Italian or French meringues? minus the butter?

[@danepemberton136]

I haven’t tried it personally, but I imagine it would be very similar! ☺️

[@hannahmurray1773]

I just love the look of this recipe. More cocktail cakes please! Also can I use frozen pineapple chunks for the jam or does it have to be fresh?

[@gissellevaldiviadelcampo6747]

Absolutely loved this recipe! So, I must try it. Question: what do you think about using Baileys cream: Pina Colada?

[@ceydaor9787]

Does replacing some butter with oil make it lighter or denser? I’m guessing its because the coconut dries the sponge a little so the oil keeps it more wet but I just really want the sponge to be fluffy & am worried the oil will make it dense?

[@Cathymagdis1969]

Hello! I can’t wait to try this recipe for my husband! I’m wondering if you could substitute rum extract for the real rum? Thank you!

Could this be scaled and made into cupcakes? I noticed the recipe for the Pina colada cupcakes on your channel is a bit different but it was made in 2015. So thought you have maybe changed up the recipe for the cake a bit since then?

Hi, Can you tell me why you add 400g of flour in this cake and 500g of flour in the raspberry layer cake as the sugar, oil, butter and eggs are same measurements in both?

[@petewootton1973]

How much of this can you “prep ahead”. I’d like to make it for a colleague who is leaving, but I’m going to be rally tight on time that week - just wondering if there are elements that can be prepared ahead of time (Jam can obviously), and how long they would be good for?

[@ayakaganig]

When you say dedicated coconuts in your recipes, are they usually the sweetened kind?

[@danavillani7720]

Dane when you made the buttercream how long do you beat meringue? Mine always ends up soft & soupy once adding butter. How cool should meringue be? I heat my eggs to 71 deg & beat meringue for 10-15 minutes but an still be quite warm. Can meringue be put in fridge to cool. Also how much do the 6 eggs weigh. This love all your videos

[@bkr323]

I used to have this problem. And yes, after 15 minutes of beating, it is still too hot. I just leave it on the counter, and let it cool until it reaches 28 C (82 F). At that point I add the butter which is cool, but not mushy (about 20 C / 68 F). The cooled butter brings down the meringue temp as it's added. I have never had a problem with SMB since allowing it to cool on its own. It is more time consuming, but it works.

That is sooo beautiful! The effort is 100% worth it!

[@coldundertow]

If I only have 2 cake pans, should I keep the other half of the batter at room temperature or fridge while waiting for the 2 to bake?

[@CupcakeJemma]

I would recommend splitting the recipe in half and preparing it in two stages. The raising agent in the flour will begin reacting once it’s mixed into the batter so you may end up with sunken cakes if you leave it waiting around x

[@Pavel_Pterodaktilovich]

I made this two days ago and it was so delicious! However, I think I will try to find a buttercream recipe with less butter and more egg whites next time. The buttercream was too firm even after 1 hour at room temperature. The texture was also too thick and buttery to my liking. I wonder if using ~450-500g of butter will still be stable enough.
