Print Recipe

Pineapple Sunshine Cake is a light, fluffy, and moist dessert made with simple ingredients like crushed pineapple and whipped topping. It’s perfect for summer gatherings or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice (do not drain)
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and the 20 oz can of crushed pineapple with juice. Mix until well combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix the whipped topping, vanilla pudding mix (dry), and the drained 8 oz can of crushed pineapple until smooth.
  6. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake evenly.
  7. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving for best results.

Notes

  • Make sure the cake is completely cool before adding the frosting to avoid melting.
  • This cake tastes even better the next day after chilling.
  • You can garnish with maraschino cherries or toasted coconut for extra flair.
