Pineapple Coconut Church Cake

I often refer to recipes as Church recipes. If you've ever been to a Church Supper, Luncheon, Breakfast or a Church Festival you know how amazing the food can be. Everyone is asked to bring a dish and most people bring their favorite family Casserole, Salad or Dessert. And...... you walk away from any Church meal with a new recipe.
