This recipe comes from a friend of mine, Carmen, thank you!
Pineapple Yummy Cake:
1 Tub Cool Whip
1 8oz Pkg Cream Cheese
1 can crushed pineapple (save the juice, you may need to get a second can if there's not enough juice for the recipe)
1 Pkg Yellow or White Cake Mix
Coconut (Shredded and Sweetened)
Nuts (Your Choice, I used Cashews, another good one would be Macadamia's)
Prepare your cake mix according to the directions, only replace the water that is called for in the directions with pineapple juice. Bake and allow to cool. Meanwhile, mix together the cool whip, cream cheese and crushed pineapple. Chill until the cake is done cooling, this will help firm the icing up a bit. Spread the icing evenly over the entire cake. Next sprinkle the coconut over the top of the cake, making sure to press it along the sides as well. Take about a handful of nuts(you can use as many or as few as you'd like, or not at all) and pulse a few times in the food processor, or you may just roughly chop them. Next sprinkle the nuts over your cake. You can also put chunks of pineapple on top for garnish, but it's optional. ENJOY!
