Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Beat the mixture until it is well combined and smooth. Fold in the shredded coconut, diced strawberries, and crushed pineapple.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 2: Make the Whipped Cream Topping

In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix or it will turn into butter.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

Cut the cooled cake into bite-sized pieces and place them in the bottom of a punch bowl. Top the cake with a layer of the whipped cream mixture and then repeat the layers until you reach the top of the punch bowl.

Garnish the top with extra fresh strawberries and pineapple for an eye-catching presentation.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Cover the punch bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cake to soak up the whipped cream. Serve chilled and enjoy!
