Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and crushed pineapple along with its juice. Beat these together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before proceeding to frost.
In a medium bowl, gently fold the whipped topping with instant vanilla pudding mix and crushed pineapple.
Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting evenly across the surface, ensuring to cover all sides.
