• Poke holes into the hot cake. Pour in pina colada mix and sweetened condensed milk. Let cool completely, at least 2 hours.
• Spread whipped topping over cake. Sprinkle coconut on top. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Prepare the cake: Poke holes all over the tops of the 2 cake layers using a toothpick. Brush the cakes with the pineapple juice, letting it soak into the holes; set aside.
• Make the filling: Bring the dried pineapple, pineapple juice, cream of coconut and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the dried pineapple is soft and the liquid is reduced to a thick syrup, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then mash with a potato masher to make a chunky jam.
• Make the frosting: Beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add the cream of coconut, increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat until thick, 2 to 3 more minutes. Assemble the cake: Place 1 cake layer on a platter; spread the pineapple filling on top, stopping about 1/2 inch from the edge. Top with the second cake layer and press down gently. Cover the whole cake with the coconut frosting. Top with the toasted coconut and dried pineapple.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch-round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper; butter the parchment and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
• Whisk 3 cups flour, the baking powder and salt in a bowl until combined. Beat 2 sticks butter and the sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium; beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. (The mixture may look separated at this point.)
• Mix 1/2 cup water with the cream in a liquid measuring cup or bowl. Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour, until just smooth.
• Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are lightly golden on top and the centers spring back when pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
• Blend all cake ingredients in large bowl.
• Beat 4 minutes at med.
• speed of electric mixer.
• Pour into two greased 9" layer pans.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove and cool.
• Frosting: Combine all ingredients except whipped topping and coconut in a bowl.
• Beat until well blended.
• Fold in whipped topping.
• Sprinkle coconut on cake after frosting.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the frosting by draining the crushed pineapple (reserving the juice) and combining with the cool whip and the coconut(I prefer Bakers Angel Flake) Put in the Fridge.
• 2. Prepare the glaze by combining the cream of coconut with the sweetened condensed milk in a 4 cup glass measuring container or any other container that you can drizzle out of. NOTE: Cream of coconut is not coconut milk and can be found where other mixed drink mixes are located in your store.
• 3. Prepare the cake according to the box directions replacing up to 1 cup of water with the reserved pineapple juice and bake in a greased or sprayed 9x13 dish according to the box times for your type of pan.
• 4. When the cake is done (clean tooth pick deal)poke holes all over(I use the blunt end of a wooden skewer) Drizzle with the glaze starting in the middle and working to the edges and ends stopping occasionally to prevent it from collecting at the sides. When cake is cool spread the whipped topping mixture over the top and refrigerate for at least 6 hrs before serving. Cake is better the next day and keeps up to 10 days if kept covered and refrigerated.
