- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 35 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix (about 15.75 ounces)
- 1 can of crushed pineapple (20 ounces), keep the juice
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (That’s 1 stick!)
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes for that extra tropical flair (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: First off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You don’t want to be waiting around for the oven to heat up while your batter is ready to go, right? Then, grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan. This will ensure that your cake slides right out.
- Mix, Mix, Mix: In a big bowl, put together the yellow cake mix, crushed pineapple with its juice, and sweetened condensed milk. Why keep the juice? Because that’s where the tropical punch comes from! Now, pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined. Butter lends that rich, moist texture we all love in a cake.
- Pour it On: Pour that delicious batter you just mixed into your prepped baking pan. Level it nicely so that it bakes evenly.
- Bake it Away: Pop the pan into your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Want to know if it’s done? Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, your tropical dream is ready to move to the next step.
- Cooling Time: Hold your horses! Allow the cake to cool completely before you start with the fun part—the frosting. We want a nice surface to slather on that whipped cream!
- Frost and Garnish: Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the cooled cake. For a finishing touch, sprinkle some coconut flakes on top. Not only does this add an extra layer of flavor, but it also makes the cake look like it’s covered in edible confetti!
Quick Tips for Your Pineapple Condensed Milk Cake 🍍:
- Choose Quality Cake Mix: Opt for a reputable brand for better taste and texture.

- Toothpick Test: Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the cake center.
- Cool Before Frosting: A must for perfect topping adherence.
- Frosting Options: Choose from whipped cream, buttercream, or cream cheese.
- Optional Garnishes: Add coconut flakes or chopped nuts for extra flair.
