Ingredients:

• 3 1/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
• 2 sticks (8 ounces) salted butter, at room temperature
• 2 3/4 cups sugar
• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup whole milk (or reduced-fat milk)
• 3/4 cup crushed pineapple, with its juice
• 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
• 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 12-cup Bundt or tube pan with nonstick spray oil.

Sift the flour and baking powder into a medium bowl and set aside.

In a separate medium bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, combine the vegetable shortening, butter and sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating well after each addition. Add the dry ingredients and the milk alternately in several additions, starting and ending with the dry ingredients; mix well after each addition. Add the pineapple, coconut, pecans and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the top of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then turn the cake out onto a rack to cool completely.
