Key Ingredients You’ll Need
Yellow Cake Mix: I love using boxed cake mix because it is a huge time saver. But, if you prefer a homemade cake, you can absolutely use that!
Eggs: When making cake, you always want to use room-temperature eggs. It gives the best texture to the cake.
Oil or Butter: This ingredient will depend on the cake mix you are using.
Pineapple: You will need crushed pineapple as well as pineapple juice to add the main flavor to the recipe. You can use the pineapple juice from the can of crushed pineapple. I like to add some on top as well.
Vanilla Pudding: I like to use instant pudding for this recipe. It is very quick to make and gives it a nice texture.
Milk: Use whole or 2% milk to add moisture to the recipe and add additional flavor.
Whipped Topping: This whipped topping will of course be added on top to add a smooth and creamy layer top of the poke cake.
How To Make Pineapple Poke Cake
Step 1. Set the oven to 350 degrees and use Pam baking spray to grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add the cake mix, oil or butter, water, eggs, and ⅔ a cup of the drained crushed pineapple into a large mixing bowl and combine.
Step 2. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place it into the oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean of batter. Remove and allow the cake to cool while you make the filling.
Filling
Step 1. Use the base of a wooden spoon or smoothie straw to poke holes into the cooled cake. Add the pudding mix, milk, and 1 cup of pineapple juice into a bowl and whisk to combine.
Step 2. Pour the mixture on top of the cake and use a spatula to spread evenly. Use the rest of the crushed pineapple to mix with the whipped topping.
Step 3. Add the whipped topping on top
and place it into the fridge for 4 hours until set.
Tips and Tricks For Making Pineapple Poke Cake:
Some tips and tricks for the best poke are the following. If you can find a pineapple cake mix, you can use it to have a more enhanced pineapple flavor. Although my stores tend to not have them, so I use yellow or butter cake mix. Adding toasted coconut to the recipe is so good and I highly recommend it! I also love decorating the recipe with maraschino cherries to add a pop of color.
How To Store Pineapple Poke Cake?
Place the cake into an airtight container for the best storage method. Keep stored in the fridge or freezer for longer shelf life. Although, it can be stored at room temperature if desired.

I used a pineapple cake mix innsteed of yellow it was so good I used diff. Pudding too I. Love to do it my way it turned out so good my church people loved it.
Made this cake for my grandkids and hubby. They said this is the best cake ever. Love the taste of pineapple and the moisture. Yummy
The cake turned out really well & I had a lot of complements on it .I added toasted coconut right before serving to keep the coconut nice & crunchy .The only thing I think I would do making this cake again is not add as much milk or pineapple juice because the pudding was a little runny but I bake every week for our Womens Bible study & they all raved over it .I know when they really like something!
