STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Making your Heaven on Earth Cake is incredibly simple. You will quickly bake a beautiful Cake.

1. Bake the Cake: Prepare the yellow cake mix according to package directions. Use a 9×13 inch baking pan. Allow the cake to cool completely. This ensures your Heaven on Earth Cake has a firm base.
2. Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. This creamy layer elevates your Cake.
3. Assemble the Heaven on Earth Cake: Once the cake is cool, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top.
4. Add Pineapple: Gently spread the well-drained crushed pineapple over the cream cheese layer.
5. Top with Whipped Topping: Carefully spread the thawed whipped topping over the pineapple.
6. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with shredded coconut and chopped pecans.
7. Chill: Refrigerate your Heaven on Earth Cake for at least 2 hours before serving. This chilling time lets all the flavors meld beautifully in your Heaven on Earth Cake.

PRO TIPS FOR SUCCESS

For the best recipe, always ensure your cream cheese is completely softened. This prevents lumps in your Heaven on Earth Cake filling. Also, drain the pineapple very well; excess moisture makes your Cake watery.

For an extra touch, toast the coconut and pecans before sprinkling them on your recipe. This simple step adds incredible flavor.

Achieving that perfect creamy texture in your Heaven on Earth Cake filling is key to its heavenly taste and overall appeal. If you enjoy desserts with a delightful creamy and fruity twist, you’ll adore these Heavenly Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies.

STORAGE & REHEATING TIPS

Store leftover Heaven on Earth Cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. This recipe does not freeze well due to the whipped topping. Serve this amazing Heaven on Earth Cake chilled directly from the fridge.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH THIS RECIPE

This delectable Heaven on Earth Cake shines on its own. However, a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a fresh berry compote would perfectly complement your recipe. A simple cup of coffee or a glass of milk also pairs wonderfully with this sweet Cake.

While this Cake is perfect on its own, pairing it with fresh berries can beautifully elevate the dessert experience. For another innovative and refreshing treat that combines creamy cheesecake with fruit, try these Cheesecake Deviled Strawberries.
