### **Why You’ll Love Pineapple Coconut Dream Cake**
### **Ingredients You’ll Need:**
For the cake:
– 1 box yellow cake mix (or your favorite homemade cake recipe)
– 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained (reserve the juice)
– 1/4 cup coconut milk (or regular milk)
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
For the topping:
– 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut (for garnish)
– Pineapple slices (optional, for garnish)
#### **1. Prepare the Cake Batter**
Start by preheating your oven to **350°F (175°C)**. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal. In a large mixing bowl, combine the **yellow cake mix**, **eggs**, **coconut milk**, and the **drained crushed pineapple** (be sure to reserve the juice for later). Add the **vegetable oil** and stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
#### **2. Bake the Cake**
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans, and smooth the tops with a spatula. Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for about **25-30 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the cakes as they bake to ensure they don’t overcook.
Once the cakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
