I've made this a lot but use a regular sized can of crushed pineapple and a scant 1 cup of sugar. Poke holes in cake, top with pineapple, top that with pudding, then a layer of whipped topping & sprinkle with toasted coconut. Yummy

this cake is always a big hit. I love the layers-cake, fruit, pudding, whipped topping

The recipe does not say what to do with the Cool Whip

I really wish all these recipes would use measurements instead of "small package" and "small can" especially since there are cooks from different countries and the same size packages are not found. At least with proper measurements we could have a much better chance of success with these recipes.

I baked this cake in a 13x9" pan and used only one small package of the instant vanilla pudding mix, which was really enough...but, next time will try using one large 5.1 oz. package. My other plan is to try banana instant pudding mix plus a generous sprinkling of toasted coconut on top of the Cool Whip.

I've made this twice, once for family and the other time for co-workers and it was a huge hit.

This cake is also really good with crushed heath bars on top of the cool whip, add some maraschino cherries, and it looks just as good as it tastes!

I tried it too, but added toasted coconut over the Cool Whip. Also, poking the cake before laying the pineapple mixture makes it easier for the liquid to soak into the cake, giving it a great texture.

I have made this cake for several family functions - it's a winner! All of the ingredients complement each other.
