(Archived May 12, 2010)Pineapple Coconut Cake

Recipe: Pineapple Coconut Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 box of yellow cake mix
  • 1 large box of vanilla instant pudding
  • 1 tub of whipped cream
  • 1 can of crushed pineapple
  • 1 small bag of coconut (toasted in the oven for a few minutes until golden brown)

Directions

Mix cake according to directions and bake as directed. Let it cool. Make the instant pudding up while it is cooling/baking so it will set up. After cake is cooled, poke holes in it with a fork. Layer the crushed pineapple, then the vanilla pudding, next the Cool Whip and lastly the toasted coconut. This cake sounds like it would taste weird, but it is very delicious. Try it! You will like it.

RE: Pineapple Coconut Cake

Do you drain the crushed pineapple? (01/15/2007)

RE: Pineapple Coconut Cake

I'm betting since no liquids are listed that the juice is not drained. (01/16/2007)

RE: Pineapple Coconut Cake

Why would you poke holes in the cake if your aren't going to use the juice? (01/16/2007)
