Billion Dollar Cake

By: RecipeLion.com Test Kitchen

Have you ever tried a sweet Southern pineapple coconut cake? Well, this is our take on that delicious recipe. We've named it Billion Dollar Cake because we think it's just that good. You'll have to try it for yourself to be sure, but it's as good as gold in our eyes! Made from a simple yellow cake mix, this recipe comes together fairly easy. Vanilla instant pudding, cream cheese, crushed pineapples, and whipped topping make up the other components. Our only modification is that we've substituted chopped nuts for coconut to give it a little extra texture. Try this recipe out at your next party -- we're sure it won't last long!

Hi renehelton0, in this recipe, chopped nuts were substituted for coconut for more of a crunch. If you prefer the flavor of coconut, try topping the cake with it and let us know how it turned out! -Editors of RecipeLion

I absolutely love this Billion Dollar Cake recipe. It's easy to make, with ingredients that you have on hand, and it has all the flavors I love except one...coconut. So, I swapped out the nuts, and sprinkles toasted coconut on top instead. For me there is just something about pineapple that calls for coconut. The cake is great. So moist and creamy.
