Pina Colada Texas Sheet Cake
Wow, pineapple and coconut come together so wonderfully in this scrumptious Pina Colada Texas Sheet Cake recipe. It’s actually pretty easy to assemble too. The cake uses only three ingredients, including Pineapple Pie Filling. The icing uses only a handful of ingredients and is not too difficult either. All in all, this is one delectable dessert that will knock your socks off.

Back in my late teens and early twenties my husband and I worked at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. We drove late shift monorails. After our shifts ended we would go out to the Polynesian hotel with friends for drinks occasionally. I loved the Pina Coladas but always got them without rum because I’ve never liked the taste of alcohol. From that point on I’ve loved the combination of pineapple with coconut. Toss in a cherry while you’re at it, and I’m good to go. 🙂
I made a meal back in September for some friends. She had just had bladder surgery and her husband is one of John’s weekly Day Neuro drivers. I whipped up a batch of Amish Chicken and Noodles and Whole Wheat No-Knead Bread to go along with this fantastic dessert.
They told me later they loved the meal but especially the dessert and the bread! All I can say is Pina Colada Texas Sheet Cake is addictive. I had a few pieces of this cake and drooled over every bite. If you enjoy pineapple, coconut and a maraschino cherry thrown in, you’ll love this dessert too. I highly recommend for holiday parties or even Christmas dinner. Your family will be in seventh heaven. 🙂
