Strawberry Piña Colada with Malibu Frosting

Garnish your cake with fresh strawberries, pineapple slices, or toasted coconut flakes to enhance the tropical theme. Serve this gorgeous cake chilled or at room temperature.

Tips for Success

1. Use Fresh, Ripe Fruit: The flavor of fresh strawberries and pineapple will elevate the cake. For an extra tropical twist, you can use canned pineapple (drained) if fresh isn’t available.
2. Malibu Frosting: If you want to make the frosting non-alcoholic, simply replace the Malibu rum with a small amount of coconut extract or pineapple juice to keep the tropical flavor.
3. Cake Texture: Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a dense, heavy cake. Stir gently, and only mix until the ingredients are combined.
4. Chill the Cake: For the best flavor and texture, chill the frosted cake for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the frosting set and gives the flavors time to meld.
5. Add Coconut Flakes: If you’re a coconut fan, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top of the frosting to enhance the Piña Colada vibe and add a little extra crunch.
