Hawaiian Cake

We were having a luau at young women’s and I thought that it would be awesome to have a hawaiian dessert. What is better than coconut and pineapple?! My sister hates pineapple, like refuses to eat anything with pineapple in it! She loved this dessert! I may not have told her that there was pineapple in it, but when I did, it didn’t stop her from eating it! Sisterly love at its finest! This is really good so try it out!

Ingredients:

• 1 package yellow cake mix
• 2 packages (5.1 oz each) Instant vanilla pudding mix

• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
• 3 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Mix cake batter according to package directions. 
2. Pour into two greased 13″x 9″ baking pans. This will make two Hawaiian cakes.
