Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup toasted coconut flakes
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour batter into prepared dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. While still warm, poke holes all over the cake using a fork or skewer.
  5. Pour undrained crushed pineapple and sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
  6. Let the cake cool completely.
  7. Spread whipped topping evenly over the cooled cake and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
  8. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  • Use pineapple packed in juice for a lighter, fresher taste.
  • Toast coconut until golden for a nutty flavor boost.
  • Chill cake well before slicing for best texture and flavor.
