Billion Dollar Cake
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!
