Equipment

9x13 Baking dish
Stand Mixer/Hand Mixer
Sauce Pan

Ingredients

15.25 Oz Yellow Cake Mix
3.4 Oz Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
3/4 Cup Cooking Oil
4 Eggs
10 Oz Fruit Punch Can Alternate
3 Eggs, beaten For Icing
1 1/2 Cup White Sugar For Icing
1 Stick Margarine or Butter, softened For Icing
1 Cup Pineapple, Crushed, Undrained For Icing
1/2 Cup Coconut, Shredded For Icing
2 Tbsp Flour For Icing

Instructions

Preheat Oven to 350°. Grease/Flour or use cooking spray on 13x9 cake pan/baking dish.
Mix cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, cooking oil and 4 eggs.
Add Fruit Punch. I used Hawaiian Fruit Punch.
Pour into 13x9 greased cake pan. Cook for 40-45 minutes, or until done.
About 15-20 minutes before the cake should be done, start making the icing.
Beat 3 eggs. Add in the flour, sugar & margarine. I use my mixer to mix it faster, but you can do the mixing in a sauce pan.
Pour mixture into a sauce pan and cook on low heat until thick. Stirring constantly.
Once the mixture has thickened, add the pineapple and coconut. Stir until blended well.
Take the cake out of the oven when done. Poke holes in the cake. I used the end of a wooden spoon, but you could use toothpicks, skewers, anything to make the holes the size you want and allows the icing to soak through.
Pour icing over the hot cake . If you're going for looks, try to cover the "holes" you poked with the pineapple and coconut.
You can serve immediately, or wait till the icing soaks through to make that cake more moist.
