Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square pan.
- Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time; stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Mix in the coconut milk until batter is smooth. Scrape into the prepared pan and smooth the top flat.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the top springs back when lightly touched, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine crushed pineapple, juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Whisk until cornstarch is smooth. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until filling has thickened and just barely starts to boil. Remove and set aside to cool.
- Cream confectioners' sugar and shortening together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract. Gradually add coconut milk, beating until smooth; you may need to use more or less milk depending on the desired thickness of the icing.
- Cut the cooled cake in half to form two 4 1/2x9-inch pieces. Spread pineapple filling on top of one half. Place the other half, top-side down, on top of the filling. Frost the sides and top with icing, then sprinkle coconut all over icing, pressing gently so it sticks.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with rack in lower third. Sift together flour and 1/2 cup sugar into a bowl. Sift again.
- Put egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer; beat on medium speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar, lemon juice, salt, and extract; beat until soft peaks form. With mixer running, gradually add remaining cup sugar. Raise speed to medium-high; beat until stiff peaks form.
- Gently transfer egg-white mixture to a large, shallow bowl; sprinkle one-third of the flour mixture over top. Using a large whisk, gently fold flour mixture into batter. Sprinkle remaining flour mixture over whites in two batches; fold until combined (do not overmix). Transfer batter to a 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom; run a knife through batter to eliminate air bubbles. Smooth top.
- Bake until a cake tester comes out clean and top is springy to the touch, 45 to 50 minutes. If pan has legs, invert and stand it on them. (Alternatively, invert pan over a narrow-necked heavy bottle.) Let cake cool completely, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Run a knife around edges of cake; lift out of pan. Using a serrated knife, cut cake in half horizontally; place bottom on a serving platter. Spread 2 cups coconut cream on bottom layer; set other half on top, and coat with remaining coconut cream. Top cake with coconut. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
