How to Make Juicy Pineapple Heaven Cake
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Base
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix the yellow cake mix with eggs, oil, and water according to the box instructions. Stir in the entire can of crushed pineapple with juice for that extra moisture and flavor.
Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Topping
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Fold in the whipped topping until smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake
Once the cake has cooled, spread the creamy topping evenly over the surface. For a final touch, you can sprinkle shredded coconut, add a few cherries, or dust with crushed nuts for texture.
Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving—it’s even better chilled!
Tips & Twists
