For the Cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 small box vanilla instant pudding (3.5 ounces)
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 cups 7UP soda
For the Pineapple Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Spray a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, and oil. Beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. Gradually add the 7UP soda and mix until well combined.
- Pour and bake: Pour the batter evenly into the greased 9×13 baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center of the cake springs back when touched.
- Prepare the pineapple topping: While the cake is baking, place sugar and flour in a saucepan and mix. Stir in the beaten eggs, butter, and crushed pineapple (with juice). Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
- Finish the topping: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded coconut until evenly mixed.
- Add topping to cake: Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven. Spread the prepared pineapple topping over the warm cake evenly.
- Cool and serve: Place the cake on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
- Store leftovers: Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- If you notice small pieces of egg in the coconut topping, temper the eggs next time. Begin by heating all of the topping ingredients EXCEPT the eggs over low heat.
- Once the mixture is hot, add 1/3 cup of the prepared topping into the beaten eggs and whisk thoroughly.
- Slowly drizzle the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan while whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
