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!).

Steps:
- Dump eggs thru pineapple into a large bowl and mix.
- Pour into greased 13-inch X 9-inch pan.
- Bake at 350° 40-45 minites.
- Cool.
- Combine the frosting ingredients (butter through vanilla) and use to frost the cake.
- Keep refrigerated.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any last-minute scrambling.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients are, the better your cake will taste. This is especially true for the pineapple and coconut.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and the inside will be dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cake.
Conclusion:
The Royal Hawaiian Wedding Cake is a delicious and impressive cake that is perfect for any special occasion. With its layers of moist pineapple cake, coconut filling, and fluffy buttercream frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
