Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
   • Grease and flour a 13 x 9 inch baking pan, ensuring it’s well-prepared for the cake batter.

2. Mixing the Batter:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pineapple pudding mix, eggs, crushed pineapple, butter, margarine, sugar, eggs, cornstarch, flour, and coconut.
   • Stir until all ingredients are well combined, forming a smooth batter with tropical flavors infused throughout.

3. Baking the Cake:

   • Pour the prepared batter into the greased and floured baking pan, spreading it evenly to ensure even baking.
   • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4. Preparing the Frosting:

   • While the cake bakes, prepare the frosting by mixing the ingredients and cooking until thickened to your desired consistency.
   • Once thickened, stir in the coconut, adding a tropical twist to the creamy frosting.

5. Finishing Touches:

   • Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan.
   • Once cooled, carefully transfer the cake to a serving platter or cake stand.
   • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before applying the frosting, as this will prevent it from melting and sliding off the cake.

6. Icing the Cake:

   • Using a spatula or frosting knife, generously spread the prepared frosting over the top of the cooled cake, covering it evenly with a thick layer of creamy goodness.
   • For added flair, you can sprinkle additional coconut on top of the frosting for a decorative touch.
   • Slice the cake into 8 large pieces and serve to eager guests or family members, delighting in the tropical flavors and moist, tender texture of this irresistible 7 UP Cake.
