Got this recipe off the internet when I did a Luau for my daughter's birthday. Moist and delicious--hands down the best cake I have ever had. Wow! Very impressive looking as well.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 slice, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1.5 (18 ounce) boxes butter recipe cake mix
1/4 cup light rum
6 ounces instant vanilla pudding
1 1/2 cups water
4 large eggs
1/4 cup canola oil
6 ounces crushed pineapple in juice
4 ounces instant vanilla pudding
1/4 cup light rum
2 pints whipping cream, whipped
coconut (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Mix together all cake ingredients for cake.
  • Divide into (3) 8 or 9 inch greased and floured cake pans.
  • Bake according to box directions.
  • Cool cakes on wire racks while making frosting.
  • While cakes are baking and cooling, soak the pineapple with the rum for about 30 minutes.
  • Mix in pudding and let sit until in a gelled state.
  • Whip the two pints of heavy whipping cream (put metal mixing bowl in freezer along with beaters before whipping. For best results-I also put pints into freezer for several minutes before whipping too.)
  • Whip cream until firm-watch it so it doesn't become butter-that's going too far!
  • Carefully fold the pudding mixture into the whipped cream.
  • Toast the coconut in oven til lightly browned.
  • Alternate layers of cake with thick layers of whipped cream.
  • Garnish with toasted coconut and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate until the next day. (I have found that if you do not wait and let these flavors meld for at least 8 hours, you end up taking a bite of cake and frosting that has pieces of pineapple loaded with rum, and just doesn't taste good!).

This cake is way too sweet for my taste. I would not recommend it to anyone who doesn't like overly sweet cakes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out terrible. It was dense and gummy, and the frosting was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

This cake was a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the cake was dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

I've tried many royal hawaiian wedding cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cake is so moist and flavorful, and the frosting is the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this cake again and again.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I loved this cake! The pineapple and cream cheese flavors really balanced out the coconut. It was a delicious and refreshing cake.
