Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple with juice
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Topping

  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple with juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix cake batter: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, one can of crushed pineapple with juice, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir the ingredients until the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
  3. Bake the cake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is done.
  4. Cool the cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely within the baking dish. Cooling is essential for the topping to set properly.
  5. Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, gently fold together the whipped topping, instant vanilla pudding mix, and the second can of crushed pineapple with juice until well combined and fluffy.
  6. Top the cake: Spread the pineapple whipped topping evenly over the cooled cake in thick, decorative swirls for an appealing presentation.
  7. Chill before serving: Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the topping to set, enhancing the taste and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the cake is completely cooled before adding the topping to prevent melting.
  • You can use fresh crushed pineapple as an alternative to canned for a fresher taste.
  • For a lighter version, use a light whipped topping and reduce oil by 1/4 cup if desired.
  • This cake can be made a day ahead; just keep it refrigerated until serving.
  • Ensure the baking dish size is accurate (9×13 inches) for proper baking time and texture.
