🍰 Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

2. Mix the cake batter:

   • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 can of crushed pineapple (with juice), eggs, and oil.

   • Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well mixed.

   • Pour the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top.

3. Bake:

   • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

   • Let the cake cool completely in the pan.

4. Prepare the pineapple topping:

   • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the second can of crushed pineapple (with juice), sugar, and vanilla.

   • Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5–7 minutes until thickened slightly.

   • Let it cool slightly, then spread over the cooled cake.

5. Make the whipped topping layer:

   • Whisk the pudding mix with milk for 2 minutes until it begins to thicken.

   • Fold in the whipped topping until smooth and fluffy.

   • Spread over the pineapple layer.

6. Chill:

   • Refrigerate the cake for at least 2–3 hours (overnight is best) to set and enhance the flavor.

7. Garnish (optional):

   • Sprinkle with shredded coconut or chopped pecans before serving.
