Ingredients:

• 1 yellow sheet cake, 13 x 9 inches

• 1 (16 oz) container Cool Whip or whipped cream of your choice
• 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions:

1. Bake the yellow sheet cake in a 13 x 9 inch (or closely sized) pan.  Prepare the cake according to your own recipe or to the box instructions for a store-bought cake mix.  Let the cake cool completely before layering any of the other ingredients over top to avoid a melted mess.

3. Spread the cream cheese and pudding mixture over the yellow sheet cake.
4. Layer the crushed pineapple next and then spread the whipped cream on top.
