This banana-kissed version of the classic pineapple coconut dream cake adds tropical flair with a velvety banana pudding layer and a hint of cinnamon spice. It’s chilled, creamy, and makes your kitchen smell like a beach cabana with a bakery inside.
Preheat oven according to the cake mix instructions.
Prepare the cake mix as directed, replacing any water with the juice from the crushed pineapple (add water if needed). Mix in the mashed banana and cinnamon.
Bake in a greased 9×13-inch pan as directed.
Cool & Pineapple Layer:
Let the cake cool completely. Spread the crushed pineapple (with juice) evenly on top.
Banana Cream Layer:
In a bowl, whisk the banana pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. Gently fold in the whipped topping.
Assemble & Chill:
Spread the pudding layer over the pineapple. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top.
Cover and chill for at least 2 hours. Slice and serve chilled.
