Key Ingredients You’ll Need

Yellow Cake Mix: I love using boxed cake mix because it is a huge time saver. But, if you prefer a homemade cake, you can absolutely use that!

Eggs: When making cake, you always want to use room-temperature eggs. It gives the best texture to the cake.

Oil or Butter: This ingredient will depend on the cake mix you are using.

Pineapple: You will need crushed pineapple as well as pineapple juice to add the main flavor to the recipe. You can use the pineapple juice from the can of crushed pineapple. I like to add some on top as well.

Vanilla Pudding: I like to use instant pudding for this recipe. It is very quick to make and gives it a nice texture.

Milk: Use whole or 2% milk to add moisture to the recipe and add additional flavor.

Whipped Topping: This whipped topping will of course be added on top to add a smooth and creamy layer top of the poke cake.

Step 2. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place it into the oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean of batter. Remove and allow the cake to cool while you make the filling.

Step 2. Pour the mixture on top of the cake and use a spatula to spread evenly. Use the rest of the crushed pineapple to mix with the whipped topping.

Step 3. Add the whipped topping on top
