Ingredients:





   1/2 c  Pineapple juice concentrate


          -- (frozen)


   1/3 c  Apple juice concentrate


          -- (frozen)


   1/2 c  Crushed pineapple


          -- (well drained)


   1/4 c  Margarine


   1/2 ts Vanilla extract


     2 c  Whole wheat flour


     2 ts Baking powder


     1 ts Baking soda


   1/2 c  Crushed pineapple


          -- (well drained)


 1 1/2 c  Coconut milk


     3 tb Arrowroot


   1/4 c  Pineapple juice concentrate


          -- (frozen)


 1 1/2 c  Crushed pineapple


     1 tb Arrowroot


          Unsweetened shredded coconut






 Get all ingredients out so they can come to room temperature.


 Preheat oven to 350F and oil an 8" or 9" cake pan.


 


 Blend first 5 ingredients together in a blender until smooth.  Pour


 into mixing bowl and sift next 3 ingredients on top of blended


 mixture. Beat dry ingredients in well till all lumps are gone -- but


 no longer. Be careful not to overmix.  Fold pineapple into batter and


 pour into oiled cake pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, till a toothpick


 inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to


 sit in cake pan for about 15 minutes before turning onto a cooling


 rack. Sprinkle entire surface of warm cake with shredded coconut and


 allow to cool.


 


 While cake is baking, mix coconut milk and arrowroot in a saucepan


 till arrowroot dissolves.  Put pan on heat and stir constantly till


 mixture boils and thickens.  Add juice concentrate and stir in,


 continuing till mixture re-boils and thickens.  Remove from heat and


 cool. Do the same in a separate pot with crushed pineapple and


 arrowroot.


 


 When cake, thickened pineapple and thickened coconut milk are cooled,


 split cake in half so you have two layers.  Spread thickened coconut


 milk over entire surface of cake like an icing.  Sprinkle entire


 surface with shredded coconut and refrigerate till serving time.
