Ingredients
1 yellow cake mix ingredients needed to make cake as directed, soft butter, eggs and water
20 ounce can crushed pineapple no sugar added
1 cup sugar
3.4 ounces vanilla instant pudding 1 box
8 ounces Cool whip topping thawed
14 ounce bag coconut
Frosting
• 8 oz whipped topping Cool Whip or similar
• 1 box instant vanilla pudding small box, 3.4 oz
• 10 oz crushed pineapple with juice
Toasted coconut
Preheat to 325
Line baking sheet with parchment paper
Spread coconut thin layer
Toast 10-15 mins stirring every few mins till the coconut is toasted evenly
Instructions
The first thing we need to do is prepare the cake mix. You’ll follow the directions on the back of the box. They can vary slightly between brands so just follow the directions for whichever type you bought! Baked your cake.
The next thing we need to do is boil the 1/2 of the 20oz can crushed pineapple with the sugar for about 2 or 3 minutes. You’ll pour this over the still warm cake after you have finished simmering it for a few minutes. You can prepare this during the last 10 or so minutes of bake time on your cake if you like!
Next, take the cake from the oven and use a wooden spoon to carefully poke holes in the cake. You can do it randomly or go in rows like I do, either way will work. Do this while the cake is still warm.
Pour the warm pineapple sugar mixture over poked cake.
Next up we have the whipped topping.
Start by mixing the other 1/2 can of pineapple with the vanilla pudding stir till the pudding is dissolved. Add 8oz of cool whip and fold until ingredients are mixed well.
Add whipped topping on cooled cake
Finally, top all of that with toasted coconut! It looks incredible and you’ll want to dive right in but you should let the cake get nice and cold before serving…trust me the flavors all need just a little bit of time to come together!
Refrigerate the cake and let it get nice and cold before serving. Enjoy!!
