Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a 9x5" pan or 4 6x3" pans, greasing bottom(s)only. Set aside on baking sheet. If making own coconut milk do so now by pouring regular milk over flaked coconut and heat on warm/low in microwave oven for 15 mins. Taste for flavor. Should taste creamy and coconuty. Let sit for 30 mins. Drain 1/4 cup coconut milk at this time for use in recipe.

2. In large heavy duty mixing bowl cream softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well. Add flavorings (Kahlua if using), coconut milk and coconut. Add crushed pineapple, stirring well.

3. Sift all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and mace spice onto wax paper. Slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, mixing well. Scraping sides of bowl.

4. Spoon into prepared pan(s) one 9x5" pan (75 mins) or 4 small 6x3" pans(25 mins). Place large pan on aluminum foil lined cookie sheet and bake in center of preheated oven. Rotate small pans half way though, and after 1 hour keep checking for doneness with wooden pick inserted into center, When pick comes out clean, loaf is done. Tent with foil to prevent over browning if need be.

5. Remove from oven and cool 10 mins. Remove from pan and invert over wire rack over jelly roll pan. Drizzle with glaze allowing excess to drip into pan. Let glaze dry completely before wrapping or bagging to freeze. Allow to sit 24 hours for flavors to blend.
