I have had several similar cakes in the past. But I think I've tweaked this one pretty well. (My family thinks so!) It's light and refreshing, and it is actually better after a couple of days! Time allows the cake to become more moist and flavorful. This is a great dessert for a large crowd or get-together.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We love an easy cake recipe. Especially, when they're this tasty! Cream of coconut helps make this delicious cake moist. The crushed pineapple adds a nice, crunchy texture while the whipped topping is smooth and creamy. Definitely make this ahead of time to cool in the fridge. The longer it sits the better it gets.
