Ingredients
- 1 18.25 ounce package of white cake mix
- 2 cups of white sugar
- 1 8-ounce package of cream cheese
- 1 cup of crushed pineapple with juice
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 cup of coconut flakes
- 1 16-ounce package of powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup of butter
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan to make sure the cake doesn’t stick!
- Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, white sugar, crushed pineapple (with its juice), and eggs. Stir them together until fully blended.
- Add Nuts and Coconut: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and coconut flakes into the batter to add texture and flavor.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Frosting: While the cake is baking, beat together the cream cheese and butter in a separate bowl until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing until creamy.
- Frost the Cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake into pieces and enjoy your yummy creation!
