Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 boxed white cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 1 package orange vegan gelatin mix (3 oz)
  • 1 can crushed pineapple (20 oz), well drained
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 container frozen whipped topping (8 oz), thawed
  • Orange slices and pineapple tidbits for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three 9-inch round baking pans.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the white cake mix, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth. Add pudding mix and vegan gelatin; blend until combined.
  3. Divide the batter evenly among prepared pans and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Let cakes cool in pans for about 10 minutes before gently removing them to wire racks to cool completely.
  5. While cooling, combine drained crushed pineapple, sugar, shredded coconut, and sour cream in a bowl to create the filling; set aside one cup for frosting.
  6. Layer cooled cakes with half of the filling between each layer and frost the top and sides with the reserved filling mixed with whipped topping.
  7. Garnish with orange slices and pineapple tidbits before chilling in the refrigerator.
