Make It

Prepare cake:

1. Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan. Lightly dust with flour; tap out excess flour.

2. Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in a medium-size bowl until well mixed.

3. Beat together butter and sugar in second bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. Mix together yogurt, pineapple and lime rind in small bowl.

5. On low speed, beat flour mixture into butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the yogurt mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Add coconut extract and vanilla, and beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Pour the batter into prepared pan.

6. Bake in 325 degree F oven for 60 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer pan to wire rack and cool for about 15 to 20 minutes. Turn out cake onto rack; turn right side up. Cool completely.

Prepare glaze:

7. Whisk together lime juice and confectioners sugar in small bowl until good drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cake. Garnish with shredded coconut and lemon and lime rind.
