Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup Pina colada drink mix
- ⅓ cup rum plus 2 tablespoons, divided
- 3 oz coconut cream pudding mix
- 2 8 ounce tub whipped topping, thawed
FOR CAKE :
- 1 cup fresh pineapple diced
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 12 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (butter, egg whites, milk, vanilla extract) for the white cake layer.
- In a separate larger bowl, mix together the dry ingredients for the white cake layer (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt).
- Mix together the dry and wet ingredients to form the cake batter. Use an electric mixer to make this easier, if you have one.
- Fold the fresh pineapples into the cake batter with a spatula.
- Spray a 9" x 13" baking pan with cooking spray.
- Pour cake batter into baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a sharp knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Allow cake to cool until it can be safely handled.
- Using the back of a spoon, or other utensil, poke cake all over to form holes.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the pudding mix with 1 cup of the Pina Colada drink mix and the rum.
- Pour over the cake and spread around to make sure it gets in the holes.
- Mix together one container whipped topping with the remaining ¼ cup of Pina Colada mix and 2 tablespoons rum.
- Spread this over the top of the cake and then top with remaining whipped cream.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour to chill.
- If desired, top with fresh pineapple to garnish. Serve!
