Closer To Heaven Cake Recipe
I made this cake today for my parents, and it was so good I had to make another for my boyfriend's family to take to Sunday dinner. Recipe adapted from Almost Heaven Cake Recipe, cdkitchen.com http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/375/AlmostHe... More

Ingredients
  • 1 package yellow cake mix+ ingredients listed, I like to add a little half +half if the batter doesn't look creamy enough- it makes the cake nice and fluffy
  • 1 20 can crushed pineapple with juice
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 3.4 oz package Jello instant vanilla pudding
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened + whipped
  • 1 12 oz container Coolwhip, thawed
  • 1 package frozen sliced strawberries in syrup, thawed

Directions
  1. Bake yellow cake as directed
  2. Cool 15 minutes and carefully transfer to a big serving plate, or leave it in the baking pan!
  3. Poke a bunch of holes with a fork (gently) into the cake
  4. Pour pineapple and juice over cake and spread over top evenly
  5. Blend cream cheese on high until its a little lighter in texture, whipped
  6. In a separate bowl, mix milk and pudding mix on high until pudding thickens, scraping sides of bowl
  7. Add cream cheese and blend on high until consistent, smooth and thick
  8. Spread over top of pineapple
  9. Top cake with Coolwhip
  10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour- overnight is best.
  11. When ready to serve, pour strawberries and syrup over cake and enjoy!

This sounds too good. I will have to bookmark, thanks!


It deserves a 5...


This sounds good, I bookmarked one similar to this to try, have everything to make it but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Great post.


POKE CAKE! I haven't had poke cake in a long time, I really like it though. One of the secretaries in my old department used to make something like this, except all strawberreis and with jello instead of pudding. Yum!


Sounds so good, great post...


I'm not a big sweets lover, but the combo of strawberries and pineapple does sound luscious. I'm sure it would be good with real whipped cream which is definitely not a fast food!


This sounds good... will give it a try..


I am so anxious to try this recipe as a pre Christmas dessert. Thank you for sharing it!!!


Just YUM!!!!!
