How to Make The Real Better Than Sex Cake Wonderful

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your favorite 9x13 inch cake recipe. Bake according to package directions or your own recipe until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Note: A chocolate or yellow cake works particularly well).
While cake is baking, combine 1 cup crushed pineapple (packed in juice) and ½ cup granulated sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
Once the cake is baked and still warm, poke holes all over the top using a meat fork.
Pour the warm pineapple mixture evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
Let the cake cool completely to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
Prepare 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding according to package directions. Spread evenly over the cooled cake.
In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the pudding layer.
Sprinkle generously with shredded coconut and chopped nuts (amount to your liking).
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set completely.
