Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15.25 ounce) yellow cake mix (Betty Crocker)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
3 (3.4 ounces each) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
3 1/2 cups milk (cold)
1 1/2 teaspoons coconut extract
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drained and reserve juice for cake)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flaked coconut (toasted)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make cake batter according to package directions adding in the vegetable oil, eggs, and using pineapple juice reserved from crushed pineapple in place of water.
  • Pour into two greased 9 x 13 pans or one greased 18 x 12 jelly roll pan.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the pudding mixes, milk, and coconut extract; beat for 2 minutes.
  • Add softened cream cheese and beat well to smooth out all bumps, and then gently stir in pineapple with a spoon.
  • Spread pudding mixture over cooled cake.
  • Mix together whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until thick.
  • Spread this over the pudding layer.
  • To toast the coconut, spread it on a cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 5 to 10 minutes until barely browned.
  • Sprinkle cooled coconut over the top of the cake.
  • Chill cake for about 2 hours or until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but make sure to drain the liquid before using.
  • If you don't have cake mix, you can use a homemade cake batter. You can find a recipe for homemade cake batter online or in a cookbook.
  • Be sure to grease and flour the bundt pan before baking. This will help the cake to come out of the pan easily.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The toothpick should not have any batter or crumbs attached to it.
  • Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.
  • Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, or frosting.
