Almost Heaven Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1 Yellow Cake Mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 box Vanilla Instant Pudding (3.4 oz or 3.9 oz, depending on brand)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large can of crushed coconut-pineapple juice (do not drain, use the juice)
  • Nuts (optional, for topping)
  • Coconut (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the yellow cake mix as directed on the box, using 2 cups milk instead of water. Bake in a large pan.
  2. While the cake is warm (just out of the oven), take a fork and punch holes in the cake.
  3. Pour the crushed pineapple with its juice over the warm cake.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the vanilla instant pudding with 2 cups milk. Beat well.
  5. Add cream cheese to the pudding mixture and beat well until smooth.
  6. Add the pineapple (presumably the crushed pineapple that was poured over the cake) already spread on the cake to the pudding mixture.
  7. Pour this mixture over the cake.
  8. Top with nuts and coconut, if desired.
  9. Place in the refrigerator. The longer you keep it in the refrigerator, the better it is.
