Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
One 8-ounce can pineapple chunks, drain and juice reserved
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup milk, skim or whole

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a full tea kettle over medium-low heat. Spray four 1 cup ovenproof ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Separate the eggs, putting the whites in a slightly larger bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Set aside. To the yolks, add the sugar and beat until the sugar is dissolved and the color has turned a pale yellow. Add the pineapple juice and vanilla. Sift in the flour and salt and mix well. Mix in the milk.
  • Fold the whites into the yolk mixture. Divide the batter among the ramekins. Place the ramekins into a baking dish and pour in hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake the pudding cakes until set, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving. To serve, garnish with pineapple chunks.

PINEAPPLE PUDDING CAKE (BEST CAKE I EVER MADE.) RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Pineapple Pudding Cake (Best cake I ever made.) Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Lsweetnell

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 yellow cake mix (I always use Duncan Hines) (Don't use any odd flavored cake mixes for this, would be too much, and I believe Angle food cake mix would be to weak)
Ingredients to make cake mix (eggs, oil, etc.)
3 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix (when I make a large cake I use three large vanilla pudding mixes with one cup less milk. and 1/2 cup to warm the cream cheese)
3 1/2 cups cold milk (I warm half a cup of the milk to help soften the cream cheese, mix, then add to the pudding mixture)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened (two for a large batch)
20 ounces crushed pineapple, drain and reserve juice for cake (two for a large batch)
1 large container cool whip thawed (2 for a large version)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the pudding mixes, most of the milk, beat for 2 minutes. (as mentioned in the description I warm a half cup of the milk and mix it into the cream cheese separately and beat for a minute to make sure cream cheese is smooth then add to the pudding mixture.) Add softened cream cheese (can warm in microwave on say 30 temp for a minute) and add the portion of warmed milk and beat well to smooth out all bumps, (if you attempt this with cold, or even room temp cream cheese you will have cream cheese lumps and the texture of the pudding will just not be a good thing.) Chill the pudding mixture while cake is baking and cooling. Make cake batter according to package directions using pineapple juice reserved from crushed pineapple in place of most of the water. If the pineapple juice does not equal the liquid you need for the recipe then add water to the juice to comply. Pour into two greased 9 x 13 pans or one greased 18 x 12 jelly roll pan. Or, 2 9 inch round cake pans (recommended) but makes a nice sheet cake also. Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes or until toothpick or long piece or uncooked spaghetti inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool completely. Spread thick layer, at least half inch, pudding mixture over cooled cake. Sprinkle well-drained pineapple over pudding. If making two layers, use half the pineapple on the first layer the rest on the next layer. Cover the whole thing with thick dollops of Cool Whip, don't try to just spread it on for the top, use the dollop method. then smooth together - cover the whole cake if cooked in round cake pans, that means the sides with the Cool Whip seals in and keeps the cake moist. To store cover lightly with plastic wrap and re-smooth once the plastic is removed. Don't pat down the plastic wrap. Chill cake for about 4 hours or until ready to serve. Best if made the night before so the flavors can meld. Be careful, if you make a large batch, will be heavy put on a sturdy pan or platter. Repeat: I know that this sounds daunting but it is not, I have just added so much information that it seems that way. It's really just a yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding with cream cheese, drained pineapple, and Cool Whip. Dedicated to Julie, Cookie, and Beverly, my amazing sisters.

Hawaiian Pineapple Pudding Cake Recipe image

This is a moist and delicious cake that our family loves. One cake mix actually makes two 9 x 13 cakes or one big cake in a jelly roll pan. Perfect for your big family parties!

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. Fresh pineapple is sweeter and more flavorful than canned pineapple. If you are using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and rinse it before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cakes are cooked through.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting or a whipped cream frosting. These frostings are both delicious and easy to make. You can also use a store-bought frosting if you prefer.
  • Decorate the cakes with fresh pineapple slices, chopped nuts, or sprinkles. This will make them look even more festive.

Conclusion:

Pineapple pudding cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give pineapple pudding cakes a try. You won't be disappointed.
