How To Make Pineapple Coconut Surprise Cake

Ingredients:

1 box of yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 oz) package of vanilla instant pudding mix
4 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained (reserve the juice)
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped nuts (optional, pecans or walnuts work well)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare for Baking:

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your oven is at the right temperature for baking the cake.

Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. Alternatively, you can line the pan with parchment paper to make cake removal easier and cleaner. The preparation of the pan is crucial to ensure that your cake comes out easily and doesn’t stick.
