How to Make Hawaiian Wedding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare your favorite white cake mix according to package directions. (Note: You can also use a homemade white cake recipe if desired).
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  5. While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping (Cool Whip), and 1 (3.4 ounce) small box instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Once the cake is completely cool, frost the top evenly with the cream cheese frosting.
  7. Drain a 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple and spread evenly over the frosting.
  8. Sprinkle generously with sweetened shredded coconut.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
