Millionaire's Cake image

As simple as this dessert is to make, it's amazing how delicious it is. It has a tropical touch, and everyone seems to love it. The recipe was created years ago, before manufacturers began to economize and downsize boxed foods, with cake mixes going from 18.5-oz boxes to 15.25-oz boxes now.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

15.25-oz box yellow cake mix, plus ingredients listed on the box (such as eggs, oil, etc)
1 (3.4-oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix, plus ingredients listed on box (milk, etc)
1 (8-oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 (20-oz) can(s) crushed pineapple, drained well
1 (8-oz) pkg whipped topping (cool whip), thawed
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
1/3 cup finely chopped nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, etc)
1/3 cup shredded coconut
about 36 maraschino cherries, stems removed

Steps:

  • 1. Spray 9x13x2-inch baking dish with nonstick baking spray; set aside.
  • 2. Prepare cake mix for 9x13 baking dish according to box directions. Pour batter into 9x13 baking pan, and bake as directed on box. Let cake cool completely.
  • 3. Prepare pudding as directed on package. Add the softened cream cheese, and beat until well blended. Spread pudding mixture over the surface of the cooled cake.
  • 4. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the drained pineapple (too much pineapple juice will make the frosting runny). Distribute pineapple evenly over the pudding mixture.
  • 5. Spread Cool Whip evenly over the pineapple layer.
  • 6. Garnish the top with chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and maraschino cherries, as desired. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • 7. To get 18 servings, cut 3 rows across and 6 rows vertically.
