A co-worker brought this to work today. What a great cake! So moist and light. I've already eaten 3 pieces and I am going to buy the ingredients today after work so I can make it for my family. Absolutely delicious!

The trick to making this not get soggy is to drain the juice from the pineapple and put the fluffy topping directly on the top of the cake, then the pineapple and coconut scattered across the whole cake. My family has been making it that way for years and it's the most requested cake we make. Also we double the topping and make it in a big jelly roll pan and use a butter yellow cake mix. It's delicious and making it this way, it keeps well in the in the fridge for days.

This was a hit by everyone. Didn't get to see how it faired the next day because it disappeared. Will make often. Thanks for sharing.

We didn't really care for this at all. And make sure your whip topping is FROZEN or you'll have a puddle on top of your cake!!!!!!!

I am a chocoholic and consider anything else a second rate dessert. But this is hands down the best cake I have ever made. I bought the pineapple cake mix and instead of water I added pineapple juice to the mix. Usually if it is not cake from scratch and Cool Whip instead of real whipped cream, my husband won't touch it. I never said a word and he devoured the cake. This was wonderful!! I will use this recipe a thousand times over...

I love this cake. It is so light and refreshing on a summer day. I make it at least twice during the summer months. Everyone I make it for loves it.

Easy, fast and yummy. Does not keep well for the next day, so it's a great cake to take to a pot-luck. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

My mom makes a cake just like this, except she calls her's an icebox cake. It is yummy. Its on of my dad's favorites. You have to eat it when its fairly fresh, because after a day or to of sitting in the fridge it gets soggy. I suggest taking it to a family gathering.

This is a terrific fast cake to make. Don't be put off by the pineapple, it isn't overwhelming at all. This cake has great flavor and is wonderful chilled. This cake is very similar to the popular "jello cake" =)

Darn this cake is GREAT! I did not think there was to much topping because the next day, you see that the cake soaks up most of it. I did however use only 2/3 of the milk the pudding directions called for. Definately poke them holes big to soak up the yummy flavor. This is GOOOOOOOOD!!

What a GREAT recipie! It was so simple to make and tasted fantastic. I made it for a luau themed party, and everyone could not say enough about it. You could easily get away with 1 package of pudding and 1/2 the cool whip bc it made a ton of topping. I wasn't too disappointed, as I just ate the rest! The only thing I did differently was bake some shredded coconut and add it on top for appearance! Thanks for the instant classic!

I suggest leaving this cake in the fridge for about one day, to really appreciate the taste of the cake. It's a good, light tasting cake.
