  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared skillet.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
