Pineapple Coconut Dream Cake: A Tropical Delight!

Serving Suggestions: This cake is perfect on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The cake may also be frozen for up to 3 months—just make sure to wrap it tightly before freezing.
Variations:

Pineapple Coconut Cupcakes: To make individual servings, divide the cake batter into a cupcake tin and bake for 18-20 minutes. Frost each cupcake with cream cheese frosting and top with toasted coconut.
Coconut Cream Cake: Replace the yellow cake mix with coconut cake mix for an even richer coconut flavor throughout.
Whipped Cream Frosting: For a lighter option, substitute the cream cheese frosting with a fluffy whipped cream frosting made with heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
