Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Water
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (thawed)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour.
While the cake cools, prepare the pineapple topping. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (including its juice) with the instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped topping into the pineapple-pudding mixture until it's evenly combined and fluffy.
Once the cake has cooled, spread the pineapple topping evenly over the surface of the cake using a spatula.
For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle the shredded coconut and/or chopped nuts on top of the cake as garnish.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Keep the cake chilled until ready to serve.
Slice and enjoy your light, creamy, and tropical Pineapple Fluff Cake!
