- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Fruit and Chocolate:
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) can crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Topping and Garnish:
- 1 (14 ounces / 397 grams) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (8 ounces / 227 grams) container whipped topping, thawed
- Maraschino cherries (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare baking pan by lightly greasing a 9×13 inch dish and preheating oven to recommended cake mix temperature.
- Mix white cake batter following package guidelines, ensuring smooth and consistent texture.
- Gently incorporate crushed pineapple and white chocolate chips into the prepared cake mixture, distributing ingredients evenly throughout batter.
- Transfer cake batter into greased pan, spreading uniformly for consistent baking.
- Bake according to cake mix package instructions until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow cake to rest and cool for approximately 10-15 minutes after removing from oven.
- Using wooden spoon handle, create multiple small holes across entire cake surface.
- Slowly drizzle sweetened condensed milk over warm cake, ensuring liquid penetrates through created holes.
- Let cake cool completely to room temperature, allowing milk to absorb into cake’s interior.
- Generously cover cake’s surface with whipped topping, creating smooth and even layer.
- Refrigerate cake for minimum 2 hours or preferably overnight to enhance flavor melding.
- Prior to serving, optionally garnish with vibrant maraschino cherries for decorative touch.
Notes
- Adjust pineapple moisture by gently patting crushed fruit with paper towels to prevent excess liquid from making cake soggy.
- Experiment with different white chocolate chip varieties like premium Ghirardelli or intense Belgian chocolate for deeper flavor complexity.
- Consider using low-fat or sugar-free alternatives for whipped topping and sweetened condensed milk to create a lighter version of the dessert.
- Toast white chocolate chips briefly before adding to batter to enhance their nutty, caramelized undertones and elevate overall cake depth.
