For an even more intense coconut flavor, consider toasting the shredded coconut lightly before adding it to the batter. Ensure the butter and brown sugar layer is completely cooled and hardened to prevent the pineapple from sinking into the cake batter during baking. If you don't have pineapple juice on hand, apple juice or even water can be used as a substitute, though the pineapple flavor will be less pronounced. For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
