Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 cans (8-ounces) crushed pineapple, juice from 1 can reserve for use in the cake, the second drained and discarded
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Frosting:

  • 1 can (15-ounces can) crushed pineapple, juice well drained
  • 1 pack (3.5-ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 (16-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Garnish:

  • 2 cans (15-ounce can) pineapple tidbits drained
  • maraschino cherries rinsed and drained

Instructions

Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9X13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the cake mix, canned crushed pineapple with the juice of ONE can, eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla and mix with a hand-held electric mixer for 2 minutes.
  • Pour the batter into prepared baking dish and bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
  • Cool, the cake in the pan, set on a wire baking rack, until completely cooled.

Frosting:

  • In a medium bowl combine the well-drained crushed pineapple and the pudding mix until the pineapple is evenly coated with the mix. Let mixture sit for 2 minutes 
  • Fold in the thawed whip topping until evenly combined. Spread frosting even over top of the cake and garnish, if desired, with well-drained pineapple tidbits and Maraschino cherries.
