Ingredients

• 1 box Yellow cake mix
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Water
• 20 oz Crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 8 oz Whipped topping
• 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, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth, following the instructions on the cake mix package.

Step 3

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 4

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

Step 5

While the cake is baking, prepare the pineapple topping: In a medium saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple (including the juice) and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 6

In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake.

Step 8

Spread the cooled pineapple topping over the cream cheese layer.

Step 9

Spread the whipped topping evenly over the pineapple layer.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped pecans evenly over the top as a garnish.

Step 11

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set. Enjoy!
