- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
- 1 cup finely chopped (or crushed) walnuts
- 3/4 cup flaked coconut
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp salt

For the Whipped Cream-Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt

Preparation
1. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, mix together the white sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the eggs, vanilla, and crushed pineapple with its juice. Stir until well combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts and flaked coconut.
2. Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or 9×13-inch rectangular baking pan. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
3. Make the Frosting: In a small bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
4. Assemble and Decorate: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with toasted coconut for an extra tropical touch. Slice and serve this Hawaiian Wedding Cake at your next gathering for a taste of paradise.
