Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, with juice
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  • Bake the Cake:

    • Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box.
    • Bake the yellow cake in a 9×13 inch pan as directed on the package.
    • Allow the cake to cool completely.

  • Prepare Pineapple Mixture:

    • In a bowl, mix together the crushed pineapple with its juice and half of the shredded coconut.

  • Infuse the Cake:

    • Once the cake has cooled, poke holes evenly across the surface of the cake using the back of a wooden spoon.
    • Pour the pineapple mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.

  • Pudding Layer:

    • In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened.
    • Spread the pudding layer evenly over the pineapple mixture.

  • Final Touches:

    • Spread the thawed whipped topping over the pudding layer.
    • Sprinkle the remaining shredded coconut over the top.

  • Chill:

    • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to blend.

Notes

  • This cake can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for parties or potlucks.
  • For a more intense coconut flavor, you can toast the shredded coconut before sprinkling it on top.
  • You can also add maraschino cherries for a colorful and festive touch.
