Recipe
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the coconut in a shallow pan and bake 5 to
10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until golden.
In a large nonreactive bowl, with an electric mixer on medium-high speed,
cream sugar and butter about 1 minute or until well blended. Add eggs, one at
a time, beating well after each addition. By hand, blend in flour, soda, sour
cream, vanilla, rum extract, lemon rind and 1/4 cup reserved pineapple juice.
Mix well. Blend in drained pineapple, mashed bananas and dates. (The mixture
will be fairly thick.)
To make topping: In a small bowl, blend all topping ingredients together.
Spoon cake batter into a lightly greased and floured 8-inch Bundt pan;
sprinkle topping mixture over batter and bake 1 hour and 50 minutes or until
a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire
rack. Remove from pan and slice. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
