Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  3. In a large mixer bowl, combine yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, 1/2 cup cream of coconut, 1/2 cup light rum, vegetable oil, and eggs.
  4. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well blended.
  5. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  9. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack.
  10. Using a skewer, poke holes about 1 inch apart all over the cake, going almost to the bottom.
  11. In a small bowl, combine the remaining cream of coconut and remaining rum.
  12. Slowly spoon the glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  13. Chill thoroughly before slicing and serving.

Note

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the light rum with pineapple juice or additional cream of coconut.

Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent the cake from becoming too soggy.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The cake tastes best after chilling overnight as the flavors meld.

If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake this in two 9-inch round pans, but adjust baking time accordingly (check for doneness at 35-40 minutes).
