Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15 ¼ oz) white cake mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 oz French vanilla instant pudding mix
- 3 oz orange Jello
- 4 large eggs
- 8 oz whipped topping
- 20 oz can crushed pineapples, drained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1½ cups white sugar
- ½ cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C). While the oven warms up, take your two 9-inch cake pans and lightly grease them using butter or a non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the white cake mix. Next, add the cold milk, orange juice, vegetable oil, French vanilla pudding mix, orange Jello, and the eggs. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the mixture until everything is well blended and smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for around 30 minutes. To check if they are done, insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cakes are ready.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapples, shredded coconut, white sugar, sour cream, and whipped topping. Mix them together until the texture is uniform and creamy.
- Once the cakes have cooled completely, place the first layer on a serving plate, using a spatula to spread a generous layer of frosting over the top. Lay the second cake on top, repeating the process, and then finish with the third layer. Use the remaining frosting to cover the entire cake.
