How to Make Pineapple Pudding Cake

Prepare your favorite boxed cake mix according to package directions. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
While the cake cools, prepare your instant pudding according to package directions. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Drain one (20 ounce) can of pineapple chunks, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice.
In a medium bowl, gently combine the drained pineapple chunks, reserved pineapple juice, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar.
Once the cake is completely cool, gently poke holes all over the top using a wooden spoon handle or a cake tester.
Evenly pour the pineapple mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
Spread the chilled pudding evenly over the pineapple layer.
Top with a generous layer of whipped cream (approximately 1 cup) before serving. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
