Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 1 cup pineapple juice (100%)
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (drained)
- 1 cup whipped topping
- ¼ cup maraschino cherries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, pineapple juice, and coconut milk. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Poke holes all over the cake using a skewer or fork.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the pineapple chunks and shredded coconut. Pour this mixture over the warm cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
