Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Water
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 8 oz Whipped topping
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth, following the instructions on the cake mix package.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
While the cake is baking, prepare the pineapple topping: In a medium saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple (including the juice) and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake.
Spread the cooled pineapple topping over the cream cheese layer.
Spread the whipped topping evenly over the pineapple layer.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped pecans evenly over the top as a garnish.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set. Enjoy!
