Hawaiian Pineapple Pudding Cake Recipe image

This is a moist and delicious cake that our family loves. One cake mix actually makes two 9 x 13 cakes or one big cake in a jelly roll pan. Perfect for your big family parties!

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15.25 ounce) yellow cake mix (Betty Crocker)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
3 (3.4 ounces each) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
3 1/2 cups milk (cold)
1 1/2 teaspoons coconut extract
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drained and reserve juice for cake)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flaked coconut (toasted)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make cake batter according to package directions adding in the vegetable oil, eggs, and using pineapple juice reserved from crushed pineapple in place of water.
  • Pour into two greased 9 x 13 pans or one greased 18 x 12 jelly roll pan.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the pudding mixes, milk, and coconut extract; beat for 2 minutes.
  • Add softened cream cheese and beat well to smooth out all bumps, and then gently stir in pineapple with a spoon.
  • Spread pudding mixture over cooled cake.
  • Mix together whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until thick.
  • Spread this over the pudding layer.
  • To toast the coconut, spread it on a cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 5 to 10 minutes until barely browned.
  • Sprinkle cooled coconut over the top of the cake.
  • Chill cake for about 2 hours or until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use a fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If you are using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth and creamy cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming curdled.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately, beginning and ending with the flour. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming tough.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, make the pineapple sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Once the cake is baked, let it cool completely. Then, pour the pineapple sauce over the top. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Conclusion:

This Hawaiian Pineapple Pudding Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the pineapple sauce is the perfect topping. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
