Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the pan
Heat the oven to 175°C/350°F. Lightly grease your cake pan and dust with flour so the cake releases easily.
Mix the dry ingredients
In a bowl, whisk the pineapple instant pudding mix with the flour. Keep whisking until there are no lumps.
Add eggs and margarine
Add the eggs in batches (4 total). Pour in the melted, slightly cooled margarine and beat until smooth.
Stir in sugar and pineapple
Mix in the sugar. Add the crushed pineapple with its juice and stir until the batter looks evenly combined.
Fold in coconut
Add the flake coconut and fold gently with a spatula. Stop as soon as it’s evenly distributed.
Bake
Pour the batter into the pan and tap it lightly to pop air bubbles. Bake for 42 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and serve
Let the cake rest in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then turn it out to cool completely. Slice and serve; a light dusting of powdered sugar is optional.
