Aloha Cake

This is one of the moistest, most flavorful, cool, creamy cakes ever! Very summery and tropical. Not to mention easy!

1 yellow cake mix
1 1/4 cups cold milk
1 pkg instant vanilla pudding mix, small box
1 can crushed pineapple, drained, 10 oz
1 envelope Dream whip
1 3 oz package of lite cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups toasted coconut

Prepare and bake yellow cake mix in buttered and sugared 9x13 pan. I used Pam butter spray and sprinkled about a tsp or 2 of sugar to coat. Cool.

In a bowl, whisk your milk and pudding. Stir in pineapple. Spread over cake. Sprinkle half of toasted coconut on top.

Prepare dream whip according to box. Set aside.

In mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.

Beat in 1 cup dream whip.

Spread over pudding.

Fold in remaining dream whip.

Spread over pudding/pineapple layer.

Sprinkle with toasted coconut.

Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two until cool. Just gets better the longer it sits.
