Ingredients for Pina Colada Cake

This Pina colada cake is made easy by using a boxed yellow cake for the base. Create the best combination with this easy to make pina colada cake. For all the ingredients and measurements see below in the recipe card.

Boxed yellow cake mix: Use your favorite boxed yellow cake mix, one you know you will love. Crushed pineapple with juice: You only need an 8oz can, if you cannot find the smaller can, measure out a cup of pineapple from the bigger can. Vegetable oil: I like to use canola oil, it’s a mild-flavored oil so it doesn’t flavor the bake. Eggs: Have your eggs at room temperature, take them out of the fridge at least an hour before mixing. Cream of coconut: Super thick and decadent, this cream of coconut tastes like paradise. Pineapple juice: This adds a nice flavor that compliments the coconut. Heavy cream: I recommend using heavy cream as you’ll be whipping this up into a beautiful frosting. Cream of coconut: You can sometimes find the cream of coconut with alcohol at your grocery store because it’s most often used for making pina Coladas!Sweetened shredded coconut toasted: Toast it in a pan on the stove over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.

How to Make Pina Colada Cake Recipe

Super easy and full of flavor you are going to love this Pina colada cake! Easy steps to follow and make the perfect cake every time.

Cake: Adding crushed pineapple to the cake not only keeps it moist but adds a sweet flavor that is light delicate. Cream of Coconut: Cream of coconut is different than coconut milk, the coconut cream is richer and will adhere to the cake better than coconut milk and it has a richer flavor. Poke and Pour: Make sure you wait a bit to poke the cake, you want it a bit warm but not too warm. Otherwise, the cake will stick to the fork or the back of the spoon. You can use a fork or skewer to poke the holes. Make sure you poke enough to have the sauce in every piece and then some. Chill: You will want to chill the cake, it will keep the sauce evenly dispersed stay that way, instead of soaking into the bottom. Plus tastes better. Topping: You do not have to add the cherries or the pineapples if you do not want to, but the coconut is a must. Toast it in the oven on a cookie sheet or on the stovetop.
