Hawaiian Delight Cake Recipe

Ingredients

1 package white cake mix (bake as directed) I baked mine in 2-9 inch round cake pans. But this recipe also works beautifully in a 9×13 pan. I mixed my white cake mix only using egg whites. The cake came out similar to an angel food cake. My family LOVED it.

1 large package instant vanilla pudding

3 cups milk

1-8 oz cream cheese, softened

1-15 oz can crushed pineapple, drained

1 Pint Whip cream-whipped

2 Tablespoons powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup toasted coconut

1/2 cup toasted almonds-slivers or chopped

*Bake cake as directed and completely cool on cooling rack.

*Mix pudding as directed on package. Let set for 15 minutes. Add cream cheese and mix well.

*Spread half of the pudding/cream cheese mixture on cake

*Crumble 1/2 can drained, crushed pineapple over cream cheese mixture

*Top with 1/2 of the whipped cream-sweetened with powdered sugar and vanilla to your liking

*Sprinkle with toasted almonds and coconut

*Add second round cake layer on top

*Repeat layers

*Refrigerate until served

As you can tell, the cream cheese and pudding mixture is mixed until a smooth texture.

For a tip…Instead of using instant pudding, I used 6 lunch sized pudding cups. That will save a little time from making your pudding and then you won’t need the milk, either.

Once you are done with all the layers- “Frost” the sides of the cake with the pudding/cream cheese mixture.
