Cake
- 1 box Pillsbury Sugar-Free Yellow Cake Mix
- Ingredients needed according to cake mix package (typically eggs, oil, and water)
Topping
- 1 container Sugar-Free Cool Whip (approximately 8 oz)
- 1 box Jell-O Sugar-Free Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (3.4 oz)
- 1 can (about 20 oz) Crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
- Preheat and Bake Cake: Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the sugar-free yellow cake mix box. Prepare the cake batter according to package instructions, then pour into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan to ensure the topping adheres properly.
- Prepare Pineapple Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the dry sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix, sugar-free Cool Whip, and the undrained crushed pineapple. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
- Spread Topping: Evenly spread the creamy pineapple mixture over the cooled cake, making sure to cover the surface completely.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour to allow the topping to set and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before spreading the topping to prevent it from melting.
- You can substitute fresh crushed pineapple that is drained, but reduce added liquid in the pudding if necessary.
- For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts or coconut flakes to the topping mixture before spreading.
- This cake is perfect for those monitoring sugar intake, but always verify ingredient labels for compliance.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
