Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Arrange pineapple in a single layer in a well seasoned 12-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet.
- In a large bowl, cream butter, coconut oil and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in coconut extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with coconut milk, beating well after each addition.
- With clean beaters, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed just until stiff but not dry. Fold a fourth of the whites into batter, then fold in remaining whites. Spread over pineapple. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 55-60 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm with toasted coconut, if desired.
