Ingredients
  

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 can crushed pineapple with juice

For the Frosting

  • 1 container whipped topping thawed
  • 1 small box instant vanilla pudding
  • 1 can crushed pineapple with juice

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Cake Batter
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and crushed pineapple with juice. Stir until you have a smooth, well-mixed batter.
  • Bake to Perfection
    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, making sure it’s evenly spread. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before adding the frosting.
  • Make the Frosting
    While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, mix the whipped topping, instant vanilla pudding, and crushed pineapple with juice. Stir until it turns into a creamy, pineapple-infused frosting.
  • Frost and Chill
    Once the cake is completely cool, spread the pineapple vanilla frosting evenly over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and makes each bite even better!
  • Serve and Enjoy!
    Cut into squares and serve chilled for the ultimate tropical treat. Every bite is a creamy, fruity, melt-in-your-mouth experience!

Notes

Want to take your pineapple delight cake to the next level? Here are some pro tips to make it even better!
  • Don’t overmix the batter – Stir just until combined. Overmixing can make the cake dense instead of fluffy.
  • For a stronger pineapple flavor, add ½ teaspoon of pineapple extract to the batter.
  • Chill the frosting for at least 10 minutes before spreading—it makes it easier to apply!
  • Want a crunch? Add toasted coconut flakes or chopped pecans on top.
  • Make it ahead! This cake tastes even better the next day as the flavors blend together.
