This cake is a family favorite! Our Grandma Char's cousin Maxine gave us this recipe. It's so moist and delicious! If you close your eyes you can escape the cold and imagine a warm summer evening! It's been a long winter so we are trying to think warm thoughts! We are a little anxious for spring and warmer temps! It was a huge hit with our family and we're sure you will love it too. It's so easy to make!
Pina Colada Cake Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 (15.25 ounce) yellow cake mix (I like the one with pudding in the mix)
1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained (save liquid)
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces cream of coconut (sometimes found on mixed drink ingredients aisle)
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
Directions:
Make cake in a 9 x 13 pan according to directions on the box. When cake is done, poke holes all over the top of the cake. I used the end of a wooden mixing spoon.
Mix pineapple juice reserved from crushed pineapple (about 1/2 cup), sweetened condensed milk, and coconut cream. Pour mixture over the top of the cake making sure the top is covered and try to pour it into the holes. Then let the cake cool completely. Top with drained, crushed pineapple. Then top with the sweetened whipped cream and flaked coconut. Directions below.
Sweetened Whipped Cream Ingredients:
2 cups whipping cream
8 Tablespoons powdered sugar
Directions for Whipped Cream:
Beat whipping cream and powdered sugar together until it starts to thicken. You'll want it to be thick enough to stand on it's own. Then spread over the crushed pineapple. Top with shredded coconut.

We make this for Easter every year (sans the pineapple) and color the coconut green. Occasionally we'll add some jelly beans for "easter eggs". It's the most delicious cake!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely amazing. I've shared the link on The Big Green Bowl FB page. Can you use Cool Whip instead of whipping cream and powd. sugar?
ReplyDeleteYes. It just won't be as rich and creamy as real whipping cream.

Hi, I'm from Australia and would love to make this, but I need some help. What is Yellow cake mix with pudding in the mix?
ReplyDeleteYou can use a regular cake mix and just add dry instant vanilla pudding in with it.
DeleteSome cake mixes come with pudding in the mix. It will say it on the front of the cake mix box. A yellow cake mix will work just fine too. -The Six Sisters
DeleteI'm from Australia too and this sounds good but just need a substitute cake mix, looks like I may have to try working on it myself...
