Crushed Pineapple: cut pineapple into chunks. Put them into your food processor and pulse 2-3 times. Use a strainer to reserve the pineapple juice. Set aside.

For the Cake: With an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar. In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients together, including the shredded coconut. Then beat the dry mixture into butter mixture. It will be crumbly.

While the cake is cooling, prepare the spiced rum syrup. In a sauce pan combine all ingredients. On medium heat, bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes or until it begins to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.

With a skewer, poke holes throughout the cake and slowly pour the syrup over it, allowing it to absorb until all the syrup has been applied. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours.

When ready to serve, gently slide a thin knife between the cake and the edges of the pan to loosen. Cover the cake with a cake plate and carefully flip. Once your cake has released, remove pan.

Mix the glaze ingredients starting with 30 g of powdered sugar, 5 ml pineapple juice, and rum. Whisk and add more powdered sugar or juice to reach your desired consistency. It should be very thick, yet still be able to slowly drip down the sides of the cake.
