Pro Tips for the Perfect Tropical Cake

1. Thorough Cooling: Ensure the cake is completely cool before adding toppings to prevent them from sinking in or melting.
2. Enhance Flavor: Allow the pineapple and coconut mixture to sit for a few minutes before adding to the cake, enhancing the tropical flavors.
3. Even Distribution: When poking holes in the cake, space them evenly so every bite is infused with the pineapple-coconut mixture.
4. Smooth Layers: For a sleek look, smooth each layer with a spatula as you assemble the cake.
5. Chill Well: Refrigerate the cake for the full 4 hours, or overnight, to set perfectly and develop the flavors.
