How to Make Better Than Sex Cake With Bananas Coconut And Pineapple

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing and lightly flouring it.
  2. Bake one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite yellow cake mix according to package directions in the prepared pan.
  3. While the cake is baking, prepare the pineapple glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with its juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes. Then, use a fork to poke holes all over the top.
  5. Carefully pour the warm pineapple glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
  6. Let the cake cool completely.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 8 ounces of whipped topping (like Cool Whip), and 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut until smooth and creamy.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, slice 2-3 ripe bananas and arrange them evenly over the top of the pineapple glaze.
  9. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the bananas, ensuring the entire cake is covered.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
