Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 can (20 oz (567 g)) crushed pineapple (with juice, undrained)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tub (8 oz (227 g)) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 package (3.4 oz (96 g)) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 can (20 oz (567 g)) crushed pineapple (with juice, undrained)
Instructions
- Preparation
- Step 1: Warm up the oven Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking pan with a non-stick spray or butter.
- Step 2: Prepare the cake mixture In a large bowl, blend the yellow cake mix, the can of crushed pineapple with its juice, eggs, and vegetable oil. Use a hand mixer or whisk to mix everything until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Step 3: Cook the cake Pour the cake mixture into the greased baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding with the topping.
- Step 4: Create the topping In a different bowl, mix the instant vanilla pudding mix with the second can of crushed pineapple, including the juice. Stir until the pudding mix dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens.
- Step 5: Add the whipped topping Gradually fold the whipped topping into the pineapple-pudding mixture until everything is well incorporated, creating a light and fruity topping.
- Step 6: Cover the cake Once the cake is fully cooled, evenly spread the pineapple-pudding-whipped topping mixture over the top of the cake.
- Step 7: Cool and enjoy Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour before cutting and serving. For optimal taste and texture, refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
