Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Prepare the sugar-free yellow cake mix in a large bowl according to the package directions, using the specified amounts of water, eggs, and oil.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top into an even layer.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake has golden edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.
- While the cake cools, add the dry sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix, thawed sugar-free Cool Whip, and the entire can of crushed pineapple with its juice to a medium mixing bowl.
- Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until smooth, creamy, and no dry pudding mix remains visible. Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes so the pudding can thicken slightly.
- Once the cake is fully cool, spread the pineapple pudding mixture evenly over the top of the cake, all the way to the edges.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing to allow the topping to set.
- Slice into 12 even squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Make sure the cake is completely cool before adding the topping so the Cool Whip and pudding layer does not melt or slide.
- For cleaner slices, wipe the knife with a damp paper towel between cuts.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle unsweetened shredded coconut over the topping before chilling.
