Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 box yellow cake mix ((15.25-ounce))
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 box orange Jello ((3-ounce))
1 box instant vanilla pudding ((3.4-ounce))
1/2 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup full-fat sour cream
1 package frozen coconut (6-ounce) (thawed)
1 pound powdered sugar
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoon whole milk
4 ounces full-fat cream cheese (softened)

Steps:

  • Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a medium bowl. Reserve 1/2 to 3/4 cup for frosting.
  • In either a stand mixer or using an electric hand mixer combine all of the ingredients together and beat for 3 minutes. Scrape the bottom and the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  • Grease and flour two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans. Shake out any excess flour. Set aside.
  • Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes. Or until a toothpick when inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the cake pans and let cool completely on a baking rack.
  • Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the filling to the frosting. Use about 2 containers of store bought frosting, or homemade cream cheese frosting. Mix together well with a rubber spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until you are ready to frost the cake.
  • To make homemade cream cheese frosting:Using a beater attachment, add all of the ingredients and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add a little milk at a time until you get the consistency you want. You'll want this frosting to be a little thicker than normal.
  • Place one cake on a plate or serving platter. Place filling on top of the cake. Keep the filling about 1-inch away from the edges of the cake. Place the second cake on top of the filling.
  • Gently spread the frosting on the top and around the sides of the cake. Top with a few thin slices of oranges for garnish.
  • Refrigerate this cake until ready to serve.
