Heat the oven to 350 degrees or 325 degrees for dark or non-stick pans. Grease and lightly flour the bottoms and sides of two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans or the bottom only of a 13 x 9 inch pan.
In a large bowl, beat cake mix, pineapple, water, oil, eggs and 1 t. rum extract with an electric mixer on Low speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, but be careful to not over-beat. Pour into the pan.
Bake according to package directions.
For rounds, cool 10 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the pans to loosen; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Cool the 13 x 9 in the pan.
Stir remaining 1 t. rum extract into the frosting.
Place 1 cake layer, rounded side down, on a serving/cake plate. Spread with 1/3 c. frosting. Top with second layer, rounded side up. Frost sides and top of cake with the remaining frosting; sprinkle with toasted coconut. For a 13 x 9, frost top of cake with frosting; sprinkle with toasted coconut.
Store loosely covered.
