Pina Colada Cake

Recipe #78073 | 40 min | 10 min prep | add private note

This cake is so light & moist and has so much flavor. It's really delightful. I got it from a cookbook back in 1985 that was comprised of everybodies favorites. This was my mom's all time favorite cake. You may have trouble finding coconut cream pudding, so you can sub with vanilla pudding.

This is one of the best "from a box" cake recipes I've ever made! I guess I first made this cake back in the mid 70's ( Ya, I know I'm old!! ) and it's still one of my favorite cakes! Thanks for posting this, Boca Pat- now I won't have to worry about loosing my yellow, faded magazine clipping!

    This was a very light and tasty cake. I did toast the coconut before adding to the cake and topped it with maraschino cherries as did Fifi. I may cut down on the rum in the icing next time, because it was a little strong tasting, IMHO. May have been the type of rum I used. Made for a great looking cake. Thanks Pat for a great recipe.

    Great recipe. I omitted the rum and used pineapple juice reserved from the crushed pineapples. I used 2 boxes of coconut cream pudding, one in the batter, and one in the frosting. My cook time was approx 40 minutes or so. I was somewhat concerned because the cake batter was so stiff and thick, but it baked up well. I added a bit of coconut in the frosting, and then added toasted coconut on top. I topped the cake with maraschino cherries with stems. I looked beautiful!Thanks for the recipe!

    This was just a taste of heaven! I used 1/2 coconut milk instead of the water and 1/3 cup pineapple juice instead of the rum. I also did the same for the frosting. Next time I need to go easy on the coconut.
