Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12x15-inch baking sheet pan.
-
In a large bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, drained crushed pineapple, and shredded coconut.
-
Add the eggs and oil required by the cake mix package directions and mix until well combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, heat the sweetened condensed milk and pineapple juice in a small saucepan until warm and free-flowing.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and immediately poke holes all over the top using the handle of a wooden spoon.
-
Pour the warm condensed milk mixture evenly over the hot cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
-
Let the cake cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
-
Just before serving, dust the top with cinnamon sugar and top with a generous layer of cool whip.
-
Slice into squares and serve cold.
