{Hawaiian Cake}

I made this for an Aloha themed church activity and it was really yummy. But I realized later that I completely forgot to add the crushed pineapple...oh dear! But at least I know that it's still a hit without it. Next time I will not leave this detail out :)

1 yellow cake mix made according to directions on package 

1 can crushed pineapple, well drained

1 8 oz cream cheese

1 lg. pkg. instant vanilla pudding

2 cups whipped cream (homemade is best)

½ cup toasted coconut

¼ cup sliced almonds

Beat cream cheese until fluffy.  Mix pudding with 3 cups milk.  Combine pudding & cream cheese.  Spread over cold cake.  Sprinkle well-drained pineapple over cream cheese mixture.  Spread whipped cream on top and sprinkle with coconut and almonds.
