Pineapple Sunshine Cake
Pineapple Sunshine Cake – A light and fluffy pineapple-infused cake, topped with a sweet and creamy whipped cream frosting. This cake is always a crowd pleaser!
Today’s recipe is simple, easy, and delicious, y’all. I wanted to share it with you before the weekend because this would be the perfect, easy addition to your Easter spread.
I got this recipe from one of the lovely ladies I used to work with when we were living in Kansas. Let me tell ya, my midwestern friends are some UH-mazing cooks!
I always say that southern food is my comfort food, but ya know what? Kansas girls… now they know how to make some good food!
I love to make this Sunshine Cake for Easter or summer barbecues and it NEVER lasts for long. When I made it earlier this week, my son snuck a piece from the corner before I was able to photograph it.
He came running to me and said, “Mama! That cake is the best in the whole world!”
It was hard to be mad at him for cake-thievery with a sweet comment like that. He must be learning how to butter me up.
Have a wonderful Easter y’all!

Just made this cake and itโs amazing! My son doesnโt like any other cake besides this one so I decided to make it for his birthday and it is literally the perfect spring summer cake!
Iโve made this a couple dozen plus times. It is super easy and only 7 ingredients but I donโt tell anyone itโs that simple. Haha. Friday we here invited to a bbq on Saturday so I whipped is a Pineapple Sunshine Cake. I always have 1 set of ingredients in my pantry and cool whip in freezer so ever if itโs last minuteโฆ.I have everything. Itโs quite convenient. One time after frostingโฆ. I sprinkled half the cake with sweetened coconut as my mother-in-law loves coconut! My mother-in-law, sister and brother-in-law even husband love the cake as is but with the coconut they loved it more! ย They suggested I try toasting the coconut so last Saturday I made another Pineapple Sunshine cake with a bowl of toasted coconut on the side so if ย anyone wanted they could sprinkle toasted coconut on their piece! It was even a bigger hit!! ย Funny now if we get invited for cards, game night, dinner or bbqโฆโฆ. Iโm being asked to make this amazing Pineapple Sunshine cake and/or requesting the recipe. lol. It is so SIMPLE my 89 year old mother-in-law makes it with little effort!!

I’ve made this cake and my family loves it.
It is a real crowd pleaser. Absolutely delicious..
So easy and so good!
I made this for my mom’s birthday who loves fruity desserts. It is amazing! I did substitute 1/2 of pineapple yogurt for the oil to make it a little healthier. It’s moist and so light. A definite keeper recipe!
Should be called disappearing sunshine cake because it lasted less than a day!!I added some toasted coconut atop the frosted cake and my guests loved it
Super easy and yummy
Years ago, we made a sunshine cake with just a yellow Jiffy cake mix. Now that I see this recipe, I’m wondering how we ever did it with the smaller cake mix. I know it was delicious. Doe anyone remember making this cake with a Jiffy mix????
I’m glad yo have found this recioe. I had one from my aunt but after buying ingreduents lost it! Howwvee I dont think hers had TWO cans of pineapple in it- just one in the frosting. And hers called for the cooked vanilla pudding . I like thus better. Thanks!
