If you like fluffy, moist, fruity cakes, you will LOVE this one! I used Banana Pudding because I did not have any coconut pudding in the house….still good! Thanks!

This was fabulous! I used a white cake mix since that’s what I had on hand (one of the ones with pudding in the mix, so it was extra moist). My grocery store didn’t have coconut flavored pudding for the frosting, so I used vanilla instead, and folded in 1 c. of sweetened flaked coconut. Took it to a lunch presentation at school today, and everyone loved it! The recipe makes almost twice as much frosting as needed for a 9×13 cake, so I’m putting the rest on an angel food cake (as suggested on the pudding box, which happened to contain the frosting recipe).

This is delish! I couldnt find coconut pudding mix, so I used cheesecake flavored pudding mix that was sugar and fat free. It came out very good. It does make a lot of frosting, so next time I will make this as a layer cake with frosting between the layers and on the sides.

Wonderful cake! Very easy to make and always a crowd pleaser. I couldn’t locate coconut pudding mix so I used vanilla instead. For the yellow cake I used a gluten free cake mix. Tasted great!

Just fabulous!! Such a crowd pleaser! I used vanilla pudding(powder only) since I couldn’t find coconut and I added a can of Betty Crocker WHIPPED Cream Cheese Frosting to the topping. I will be making this again and again!!

Just popped this in my recipe box. =) It looks evil, easy, and oh-so-tasty. And I had no idea that “Maui Wowee” was anything drug-related.

That was the funniest intro to a cake ever! I laughed out loud when I read it! Sounds delicious and I could use a little “Maui Wowee” cake in my life!

Quick question thought, do you make the coconut pudding first and then beat with the pineapple or are you just using the mix in dry form beaten with the pineapple? Thanks!

This is a Southern classic dessert that also goes by the name “mandarin cake.” I absolutely love it. Anytime I make it, people go CRAZY for it and demand the recipe! Thanks for putting this little gem out there!
Hey theboysmom: You mix in the dry coconut pudding to make the frosting. So easy! Heavenly!

my grandma used to make me this cake every summer – it was always my favorite!!! sometimes, she would sprinkle shredded coconut over the top as well. YUM.

Oh I make this all the time. We call it Pea Pickin Cake in the South. It is very good, light and refreshing. Perfect for summer.
