Pineapple Coconut Dream Cake Slice on a Plate

Pineapple Coconut Dream Cake That Will Brighten Your Day

Indulge in a slice of paradise with this delicious Pineapple Coconut Dream Cake, a lush tropical treat that combines juicy pineapple and fluffy coconut in a delightful layered dessert.

  • Total Time: 50
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 box yellow cake mix

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple with juice

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1 container (8 oz) whipped topping thawed

1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

1 cup cold milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing it lightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, crushed pineapple (be sure to include the juice), and the shredded coconut. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the greased baking pan, ensuring it is evenly spread across the surface. Bake in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the pudding layer. In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture is smooth and has thickened.
  • Once your cake has cooled slightly, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake. This will allow the pudding to soak in and add moisture.
  • Pour the prepared pudding mix over the cake, making sure to spread it evenly so that it seeps into all the holes.
  • Next, take the thawed whipped topping and spread it generously over the pudding layer, covering the entire cake.
  • Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Once set, slice the cake and serve chilled for a refreshing taste of paradise!

Notes

For an extra tropical flavor, consider adding toasted coconut on top before serving.
