🧁 Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix (or vanilla)
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
For the Topping:
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional, for texture)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pineapple with juice, oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
- Make the Topping: In another bowl, mix the drained pineapple with the dry pudding mix until thickened. Gently fold in the whipped topping and coconut (if using).
- Assemble: Spread the topping over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let all the flavors come together.
- Serve chilled – and enjoy every juicy bite!
