Description

This Mountain Dew cake is made with boxed mix, instant pudding, eggs, oil, and crushed pineapple and features a buttery coconut-pineapple topping.

Ingredients

flour
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package lemon cake mix
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1 (3 2/5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
10 fluid ounces Mountain Dew™
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup butter

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2 Mix together cake mix, oil, beaten eggs, pudding mix, and Mountain Dew in a large bowl until well combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
