Instructions
BOTTOM: Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg C (350 deg F) – spray a 20 x 30 cm ( 9 x 12 inch ) oven dish with cooking spray
Combine the Cake Mix, 1 Egg and 1/2 cup melted Butter (it will be a dry-ish mixture) – press into the bottom of the prepared oven dish
TOPPING:Beat the Cream Cheese until smooth – add the Eggs one-by-one followed by the Vanilla, whilst beating all the time.
Add the Icing Sugar (also cup-by-cup) to the Cream Cheese mixture – beat until well combined – slowly add the melted Butter and Coconut
Fold in the Pineapple – pour filling/topping over the cake mixture in the prepared oven dish – bake for 45 – 55 minutes
The cake is ready when browned – a tester should come out a little sticky – that’s fine
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the oven dish before cutting into servings
Notes
This cake is very sweet and moist - I recommend only a drizzle of not-too-sweet custard (or unsweetened whipped cream) drizzled over the cake
