Steps:

• Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside. Combine sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla and mix on medium-low speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Slowly mix in flour mixture until just combined. Add pineapple (undrained), 1 cup chopped pecans and coconut and continue mixing on medium-low speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined (about 1 minute). Spray a 13x9" baking pan with cooking spray. Pour cake batter into pan and bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes or until cake is set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake completely in pan then the frost with Cream Cheese Frosting. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup chopped pecans over cake. Store in refrigerator. CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: Whip cream cheese, butter and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in powdered sugar (add more if necessary to reach desired consistency - if your kitchen's hot, you might need more because the butter will be softer). Makes enough to top one 13x9" cake - double recipe if using on a layered cake.

• 1. CAKE: Combine dry ingredients.

• 7. FROSTING: Combine cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar.
• 8. Add nuts.
• 9. Mix well and spread on the cake in pan. Enjoy!
• 10. * If you would like to save calories, instead of using the frosting, just sprinkle the top of the cake with a bit of powdered sugar and enjoy!
• 11. * There is NO milk, butter, or oil in the cake.
• 12. * You may add other fruits or coconut if you like: some suggestions are dried cranberries, raisins, currants, tub of mixed dried fruit, and even fresh blueberries.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease a 900g loaf tin and line with baking paper.
• Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl and rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, coconut, eggs and milk and mix to a soft dropping consistency.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface with a palette knife. Bake for 30 mins.
• Remove the cake from the oven and sprinkle with the extra coconut. Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 mins, until well risen and golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool slightly in the tin, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
