Pineapple Strawberry Swirl Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pineapple Strawberry Swirl Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x13 inch baking pan to ensure your cake comes out easily.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water.

3. Step 3

   Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and free of large lumps—this is where the magic begins! Once your batter is ready, pour it into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom to create a lovely base.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to add a burst of flavor! Spoon the strawberry pie filling over the batter in evenly spaced strips, making sure to keep it away from the edges of the pan.

5. Step 5

   With a gentle touch, fold the batter over the pie filling to create a beautiful swirl pattern.

6. Step 6

   You want the filling to be incorporated but still visible, adding a delightful surprise in every bite.

7. Step 7

   Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Step 8

   Once baked, let the cake cool completely in the pan—patience is key here! For the topping, mix the crushed pineapple (juice included) with instant vanilla pudding in a bowl.

9. Step 9

   After about 5 minutes, when the mixture thickens, fold in the thawed whipped topping until everything is well combined.
