🍍 How to Make It:
-
Preheat & Prep:
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or two 8-inch round pans. -
Mix the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil (or butter), and eggs. Beat for 2 minutes until smooth. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and coconut extract. -
Bake:
Pour the batter into your prepared pan(s) and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting. -
Whip Up the Frosting:
Beat the softened butter until creamy. Slowly add powdered sugar, then mix in vanilla and coconut extracts. Add cream/milk a little at a time until the frosting is light and spreadable. -
Decorate:
Spread the frosting over the cooled cake. Sprinkle toasted coconut generously on top, and finish with extra pineapple if you like.
🥥 Final Touch:
Every bite of this tropical treat delivers a rich, fruity burst of pineapple and coconut — a combination that’s both refreshing and indulgent. Whether you're celebrating or just need a little escape from the everyday, this cake brings sunshine to the table.
