YUM! - Pina Colada Pound Cake

Okay I love to bake but I don't eat it. I know weird. I will have one bite just to make sure it turned out the way it should but for the most part I don't eat sweets - I just feed them to my hubby. Until....I heard this recipe from my hairdresser, Kristen. I just had to try it. And the best part is that it is super simple and you can add alcohol!

Ingredients:
1 pound cake mix
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup drained crushed pineapple
2 mashed bananas
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix everything together and bake. I love how all the chips fall to the bottom for a chocolately base. Those that don't like shredded coconut will not even notice the texture. I really want to try making a glaze with confectioners sugar and Malibu or Parrot Bay Rum. We had some couples over for poker and we were not waiting for that! So I took 1 shot glass filled with Parrot Bay Rum and poured the shot directly on each slice. Not the whole shot on one slice - but I guess if you wanted to you could!
Viola!
Thank you Kristen - this has been a hit. I will be making lots of these in the future.....Enjoy!

btw - I received my memory box that I ordered on Monday AND I LOVE IT!!! I would show you the picture but it is a Christmas present so I don't want to ruin the surprise, so trust me......you got to get one!
Head on over to paper coterie >>>
