Let’s Bake This Dream Together:
Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, juice and all
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
Instructions:
-
Bake the base:
Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the package directions and bake it in a 9x13 inch pan. Let it cool completely—trust me, the wait is worth it. -
Bring on the pineapple:
Once the cake is cool, poke holes all over the top using a fork or the handle of a wooden spoon. Pour the crushed pineapple (juice included) evenly over the cake. Let it soak in and do its tropical thing. -
Coconut sprinkle magic:
Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the pineapple layer. It starts to look like a beachy dream at this point. -
Pudding perfection:
In a bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Spread it gently over the coconut layer. -
Fluffy finale:
Top everything with the whipped topping, spreading it evenly like a soft, creamy cloud. -
Chill out:
Pop the whole cake into the fridge for at least an hour—overnight if you can. The flavors get to know each other and the texture becomes divine.
Final Thoughts:
This cake is light, luscious, and full of sunny vibes. One bite, and you’ll be imagining palm trees swaying and ocean waves crashing. Serve it chilled, and watch it disappear.
