Ingredients
  

  • 1 box yellow cake mix for a light and fluffy base
  • 1 cup water ensures proper moisture for the cake
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil adds richness and keeps the cake tender
  • 3 large eggs binds everything together for a perfect rise
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened gives a creamy texture and tangy flavor
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sweetens the cream cheese filling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained brings a tropical twist, essential for the cake's charm
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut adds chewiness and sweetness
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional) adds crunch for texture
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip) creates a light, fluffy finish on top

Method
 

  1. Prepare the mix: Start by combining the yellow cake mix with 1 cup of water, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix until everything is well incorporated and smooth.
  2. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Mix the filling: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the fruity goodness: Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, sweetened shredded coconut, and chopped nuts (if using) into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Layer the cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, you can either cut it into layers or simply spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top.
  6. Top it off: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cream cheese mixture, creating a luscious finish.
  7. Chill before serving: Place your finished cake in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour before serving.
