Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)
Ingredients
1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix without pudding
1 ¼ cups water
3 large eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can cream of coconut
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon toasted flaked coconut, or as desired (Optional)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Stir together yellow cake mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil in a large bowl until moistened; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in crushed pineapple until incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean or with moist crumbs, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove cake from the oven.
Whisk together cream of coconut and milk in a medium bowl until smooth; pour mixture over hot cake. Allow cake to cool thoroughly.
Whip together heavy cream and sugar in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Frost the top of cake with whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
Cook’s Note
Make sure you use cream of coconut, not coconut milk or coconut juice. It is usually found with the alcoholic beverages, as it is used to make piña colada drinks.
