Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
The first thing we need to do is prepare the cake mix. You’ll follow the directions on the back of the box. They can vary slightly between brands so just follow the directions for whichever type you bought!
- Step 2
Next, take the cake from the oven and use a wooden spoon to carefully poke holes in the cake. You can do it randomly or go in rows like I do, either way will work. Do this while the cake is still warm.
- Step 3
The next thing we need to do is boil the crushed pineapple with the sugar for about 2 or 3 minutes. You’ll pour this over the still warm cake after you have finished simmering it for a few minutes. You can prepare this during the last 10 or so minutes of bake time on your cake if you like!
- Step 4
Let the cake cool completely. Then make the pudding with milk and condensed milk. We will spread that on top of the cake when it’s done being mixed and is soft set.
- Step 5
Next up we have the whipped topping. Spread the cool whip on top of the layer of pudding.
- Step 6
Finally, top all of that with coconut! It looks incredible and you’ll want to dive right in but you should let the cake get nice and cold before serving…trust me the flavors all need just a little bit of time to come together!
- Step 7
Refrigerate the cake and let it get nice and cold before serving.
