FAQ:
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
While fresh pineapple is delicious, the canned pineapple with juice provides the necessary moisture for the cake. If using fresh pineapple, ensure it is finely chopped and add a bit of pineapple juice for moisture.
Can I use a different flavor of pudding?
Yes, you can experiment with different flavors like coconut or banana pudding, but vanilla gives it a classic flavor that complements the pineapple and coconut well.
Can I make this cake in advance?
Yes, this cake needs to chill for at least 4 hours, making it perfect for preparing the night before serving.
