1 box Yellow cake mix
4 large Eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup Vegetable oil
1 can (8 oz) Crushed pineapple with juice Do not drain for batter
1 container (8 oz) Whipped topping, thawed
1 small box (3.4 oz) Instant vanilla pudding mix Or the small size usually labeled 'instant'

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 until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
For the frosting, gently fold the whipped topping with the pudding mix and crushed pineapple.
Once the cake is cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the cake.

Store leftover cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best texture, eat within 2-3 days.
