This fluffy coconut cake is filled with an easy pineapple curd and finished with a cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut flakes.

Pineapple Upside-down Cheesecake

Finish off this fruit-filled bread with toasted coconut flakes. The crispy toasted coconut chips are a fun and unique topping to this bread.
