It's summer, and you need a drink. Here is a light, easy, crowd-pleasing dessert with all the flavors from a piña colada, including a rich coconut rum sauce to pour over it.
For the cake:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 c pineapple juice
- 3/4 c Coco Lopez cream of coconut
- 1 c pineapple chunks or crushed pineapple
For the rum sauce:
- 2 Tbs butter
- 1 c Coco Lopez cream of coconut
- 1 Tbs cornstarch
- 2 Tbs rum
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a bundt pan (I use Pam for Baking since it includes flour, making it even more nonstick).
Put the cake mix, eggs, pineapple juice and cream of coconut in a large bowl and mix until fully blended and light, about 3 minutes on medium. Stir in the pineapple. Pour the batter in the bundt pan and bake 50 to 55 minutes, until a knife inserted comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan, then invert onto a large plate. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
In a small saucepan, start the butter and cream of coconut melting on medium-high. In a separate bowl, mix the rum and cornstarch together with a spoon, then add to the pan. Bring to a boil and simmer until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
Pour the rum sauce over individual slices, or poke holes in the top of the cake and spoon the rum sauce all over it.
