7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded coconut evenly across the pudding layer.
8. Add another layer using the remaining cake cubes, followed by the rest of the pudding mixture.
9. Top the dessert with the remaining 1 cup of whipped topping, spreading it evenly across the top.
10. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded coconut over the whipped topping. For extra flair, garnish with pineapple slices or chunks and toasted coconut, if desired.
