How to Make Out Of This World Cake

  1. Preheat oven to temperature specified on cake mix box.
  2. Prepare cake batter according to cake mix box instructions for a 9x13 inch pan. Use the water, oil, and eggs called for in the mix.
  3. Pour batter into greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake according to the cake mix box instructions (usually around 30-35 minutes), or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before piercing the top with a fork several times.
  6. While cake cools, prepare pineapple topping: Drain one 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple, reserving the juice.
  7. Pour reserved pineapple juice evenly over the warm cake.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  10. Gradually add the pudding mixture to the beaten cream cheese, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  11. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pineapple-soaked cake.
  12. Top with 8 ounces of whipped topping (thawed if frozen).
  13. Sprinkle with ½ cup shredded coconut and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the cake to set completely.
