Hawaiian Wedding Cake is a delicious blend of yellow cake and all the flavors of a piña colada. It starts with a cake mix and then a rich pudding mixture transforms this recipe into a tropical delight with toasted coconut.
Bake the cake according to its package instructions in a 9x13-inch baking pan.
While the cake is in the oven, combine the dry pudding mix, milk, and cream cheese and mix with an electric beater or mixer until blended well and has a smooth consistency.
Gently fold the mixture and whipped cream together and place in the refrigerator.
Once the cake has cooled completely, poke holes on top of the cake with the round end of a wooden spoon’s handle.
Spread the crushed pineapple and its juice evenly over the cake.
Add and spread the whipped topping mixture in a thick, even layer on the cake.
After frosting the cake, sprinkle or top the entire cake with toasted shredded coconut.
Serve right away or keep the cake covered and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
To store, you can place the cake in an airtight container or wrap it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
