Luscious Strawberry Pineapple Cake

For months now I’ve been dying to make this Luscious Strawberry Pineapple Cake that’s the perfect sweet, summer treat, so when strawberries went on sale last week I jumped at the chance to get my baking on!

Featuring a delicious pineapple-orange flavored cake, a whipped vanilla pudding topping, and of course fresh strawberries and pineapple, this tropical cake is basically heaven sent. The flavor alone will have you wanting to make it every chance you can get and this cake’s beautiful presentation will have everyone thinking you’re a master baker.

If you’ve been around my blog for any time now, you’ll know there’s two main qualities I look for when choosing desserts to make. 1. They must taste absolutely incredible and 2. They must be super easy to make.

I’m happy to report that this Strawberry Pineapple Cake knocks it out of the park with both of those qualities and it’s gorgeous- making it a triple win. My husband and boys loved it so much they all ate two slices of it each. 🙂

The star of the show is of course the fresh strawberries and pineapple which add the perfect summer-time flavor and double as beautiful decorations on the cake.

It couldn’t be easier to put together the cake either- simply grab a gorgeous cake stand (I love this clear glass one that comes with a lid), and layer the cakes placing the whipped vanilla topping and fresh fruit in between and on top. Easy peasy.

Scale

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 package Yellow Cake Mix
  • 3/4 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Orange Juice (Pineapple-Orange preferred)
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Canola Oil

Fruit

  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries (diced, patted dry)
  • 1 cup Canned Unsweetened Pineapple Tidbits (drained, patted dry (use juice in whipped topping recipe))
  • 1–2 whole Strawberries (for garnish, if desired)

Whipped Topping

  • 5.1 oz Vanilla Instant Pudding and Pie Filling
  • 8 oz Light Whipped Topping (thawed)
  • 20 oz Pineapple Juice from Tidbits

Instructions

  1. Coat two 9-inch round baking pans with cooking spray; line bottoms with waxed paper. Coat waxed paper with cooking spray, set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, water, orange juice, eggs, and oil. Mix on low for 30 seconds and then on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. Pour even amount into cake pans.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  4. While cake is baking, drain pineapple tidbits saving the juice for the whipped topping. Place pineapple tidbits on paper towels in a bowl to fully drain.
  5. Clean and dice up strawberries in bite sized pieces. Place strawberries on paper towels in a bowl to fully drain. If desired, sprinkle lightly with sugar. Place both the pineapples and strawberries in the refrigerator until later.
  6. Mix together vanilla instant pudding, light whipped topping, and pineapple juice from the tidbits. Place in refrigerator until it is time to decorate.
  7. After cake has cooled, place one layer on cake stand. Spread half of the whipped topping mixture and half of the fruit on top, decorating as desired.
  8. Top with second cake layer. Spread remaining whipped topping mixture over the top of the cake and decorate with remaining fruit. Feel free to add additional strawberries for garnish, if desired. Store in the refrigerator.

I just love how the pineapple juice adds the perfect flavor to both the cake and the whipped topping, and the vanilla pudding complements the fresh strawberries marvelously.
