- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the room temperature butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut extract until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in crushed pineapple and 1 cup of shredded coconut.
