Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix
4 large eggs
1/2 cup oil ((I used coconut oil))
20 oz crushed pineapple ((with juice, not drained))
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz whipped topping ((thawed, Cool Whip - a 16 oz container can also be used))
5 oz instant vanilla pudding ((1 small box))
8 oz crushed pineapple ((with juice, not drained - I have also used larger cans, up to a 20 oz can before))

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and coat your 9 x 13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake ingredients (cake mix, crushed pineapple with juice, eggs, oil and vanilla extract ). Mix until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the cake batter to your prepared 9 x 13 baking pan, then bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden an inserted toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake.
Remove the cake from oven when done and place on a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, combine the frosting ingredients (whipped topping, pudding mix, and crushed pineapple with juice) in a medium size mixing bowl. Return the frosting to the refrigerator to let it set up, and until ready to use.
Spread the frosting over the pineapple sunshine cake once completely cooled.

Tips:

Using fresh pineapple ensures the freshest and most flavorful result. However, canned pineapple can be used in a pinch.
Make sure the pineapple is finely crushed or grated to blend into the cake batter evenly.
For a more intense pineapple flavor, use extra pineapple juice in the cake batter. You can also add a teaspoon of pineapple extract.
Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for a moist and tender cake. Make sure to beat them for at least 2 minutes.
Adding sour cream to the cake batter makes it extra moist and rich. If you don't have sour cream, you can use plain yogurt as a substitute.
To ensure the cake bakes evenly, make sure the oven is fully preheated before placing the cake in.
Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
