Pineapple curd – where have you been all of my baking life?
As a long time devotee of lemon curd, a pineapple version was quite the discovery for me. Revelation even.
The coconut cake itself is pretty spectacular too. Bursting with coconut flavor and smothered in a gorgeous light, fluffy Italian Meringue frosting. Pina Coladas anyone?
