Ingredients
- 1 package (18.25 ounces) pineapple cake mix
- 1 package (3.5 ounces) instant coconut cream pudding mix
- 1 can (14 ounces) cream of coconut
- 1/2 cup rum
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut
- 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10- inch Bundt or tube pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, 1/2 cup cream of coconut, 1/2 cup rum, oil, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup coconut and pineapple. Pour into prepared pan.
