Piña Colada Cake
This tropical-inspired cake is pure sunshine on a plate. Made with crushed pineapple, coconut flakes, and a rich soak of cream of coconut, rum, and lime, it’s ultra-moist and full of island flavor. Topped with a fluffy coconut-pineapple whipped cream and finished with toasted coconut, cherries, and lime zest, it’s a chilled dessert that tastes like vacation—no blender required.

Piña Colada Cake
000
Ingredients
1 box yellow cake mix
1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple with juice
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
1 cup Coco López Cream of Coconut
2 Tbs rum
1 Tbs lime juice
3 cups heavy whipping cream (cold), divided
1 (3.4 oz) pkg coconut cream instant pudding mix (see note)
1/2 cup pineapple preserves
toasted coconut chips, for topping
maraschino cherries, for topping
lime zest, for topping
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pineapple with juice, water, oil and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer. Stir in the coconut flakes. Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden-brown. Let cool completely.
- Using a large fork, poke holes all over the cake. In a measuring cup, combine the cream of coconut, rum and lime juice. Pour it over the cake slowly. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- One to two hours before serving, use an electric mixer to whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream to stiff peaks. Set aside. In another bowl, combine the remaining cream, pudding mix and pineapple preserves. Whisk until well-combined. Then, fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture in three additions. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the pudding is set. Dollop the topping over the cake. Use a spatula to lightly spread it. Garnish with coconut chips, cherries and lime zest.
Note: If you can’t find coconut pudding, you can substitute with vanilla pudding mix and 1 teaspoon of coconut extract.
