Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 20 oz crushed pineapple
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cake batter by combining the white cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix according to the package instructions until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven.
Step 4
While the cake is still warm, use a fork to poke small holes all over the top of the cake.
Step 5
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice) and sugar. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Pour this pineapple mixture evenly over the warm cake, ensuring it soaks into the holes.
Step 6
Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.
Step 7
In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and unsalted butter using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 9
Once the cake has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cake.
Step 10
Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped pecans evenly across the top of the frosted cake.
Step 11
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
