Hawkeye Cake

This is a cake recipe sent to me by my lovely friend Lillian with her blessings for making changes.  I'll give you the original version and then my changes.

Hawkeye Cake

1 Lemon Supreme cake mix (baked as per instructions on box)
1 can crushed pineapple, undrained (I used a 20 oz. can)
1/2 cup sugar
1 large (6 oz.) pkg vanilla pudding (prepared as diected on box)
Dream Whip (or whipping cream)

Cook pineapple and sugar.  Put small holes in the baked cake (a two tined fork does a good job).  Pour pineapple mixture over hot cake.  When cooled, cover with vanilla pudding.  Spread Dream Whip or whipped cream over the top.  Keeps well and can be frozen.  Refrigerate cake.

Changes - You could use coconut cream pudding with a yellow cake mix or use some coconut in the batter of the cake.  Use Cool Whip instead of whipping cream or Dream Whip.

Lillian is 100% correct in her statement to me "I know that you can find a million changes for this recipe."  I made my changes using coconut pudding, coconut extract in the cake mix and by using coconut milk in the pudding.  Work with this recipe and make your own changes.  View my recipe by going to Martha's Recipe Cabinet.  I've called mine Coconut Ice Box Cake
