How to Make Almost Heaven

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. While the cake is still hot, poke holes all over the top using a skewer or chopstick.
  5. Evenly pour the crushed pineapple (with its juice) over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat together the instant pudding mix, milk, and softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
  7. Spread the cream cheese pudding mixture evenly over the pineapple layer.
  8. Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
  9. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to blend and the cake to chill. Enjoy!
