How To Make pineapple poke cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with non stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Step 3

Pour into a 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Step 4

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine pineapple and brown sugar. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 4-5 minutes or until most of the liquid is evaporated; cool slightly.
Step 5

Remove cake from the oven; place on a wire rack. Poke holes in warm cake with a fork. Spoon pineapple mixture evenly over cake; cool completely.
Step 6

For frosting: In a small bowl, beat milk, extract and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Fold in the cool whip. Chill for 10 - 15 minutes. Frost cooled cake. Sprinkle with coconut if desired...
