Pineapple Dream Cake AKA Daffodil Cake image

This cake was MY birthday cake for many years & was made by my best friend, and later sister-in-law, Becki. Oh, the barbecues & lasagna dinners that were topped off by this delicious dessert! Talk about happy memories, even if the event meant I was getting older. =^..^=

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 box yellow cake mix, any brand
1 c water, as directed for the cake
1/2 c vegetable oil, as directed for the cake
3 eggs, as directed for the cake
20 oz can of crushed pineapple, drained
8 oz block of cream cheese
1 box instant vanilla pudding mix, 4 serving size
2 c milk
8 oz container of cool whip

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs together, as directed on the cake mix box. Bake the cake in a 13 x 9" baking dish, using the temperature & time suggested on the cake mix box. Remove from oven and cool.
  • 2. Drain the pineapple well. (I actually squish it with a wooden spoon, just a little, so the cake won't get soggy.)
  • 3. Spread drained pinepple over the cooled cake.
  • 4. In a blender (or using a bowl & mixer), mix together the cream cheese, pudding mix, and milk until well-blended. Pour over the pineapple on the cake...
  • 5. ...and smooth the pudding evenly over the cake.
  • 6. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes until the pudding is set. Then frost with Cool Whip.
  • 7. Refrigerate again until ready to serve. (If there are any leftovers, refrigerate them, too.) I wish this photo showed the whole slice of cake. Silly JAP editing! =^..^=

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This is the best pineapple cake recipe I've ever tried. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the pineapple filling is perfectly balanced.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out perfectly. It was moist and fluffy, and the pineapple filling was sweet and tangy.

This cake was a complete disaster! The cake didn't rise properly and the pineapple filling curdled.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. The cake was dense and the pineapple filling was too tart.

Overall, I thought this cake was good, but not great. I think there are better pineapple cake recipes out there.

The cake was a bit dry, but the pineapple filling was delicious. I think I'll try using a different cake recipe next time.
