Description
A delightful dessert that captures tropical flavors in a moist cake topped with fluffy whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 1 cup pineapple juice (100%)
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (drained)
- 1 cup whipped topping
- ¼ cup maraschino cherries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the yellow cake mix according to package instructions and pour it into the prepared dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown; let it cool slightly before poking holes throughout the top.
- Mix the pineapple juice and coconut milk in a bowl, then pour it evenly over the cooled cake.
- Sprinkle sweetened shredded coconut on top while still moistened.
- Spread whipped topping generously over the cake and garnish with pineapple chunks and maraschino cherries.
Notes
Ensure the cake is completely cooled before poking holes; this allows the juices to soak in better. You can use fresh pineapple for garnish if you prefer a fresher taste.
