For the Cake:

  • 1 cup crushed pineapple (in juice, not syrup) (0 points)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (0 points)
  • 3 egg whites (0 points)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or skim milk (0 points)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (0 points)

For the Frosting:

  • 1 cup fat-free whipped topping (like Cool Whip Free) (2 points)
  • 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (0 points)
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (1 point)
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free coconut pudding mix (dry, for flavoring) (0 points)

(Makes 12 servings, about 3 WW points per slice depending on your plan.)

Directions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. Mix Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine cake mix, crushed pineapple (with juice), applesauce, egg whites, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  4. Make the Frosting: In a bowl, whisk together fat-free whipped topping, Greek yogurt, sugar-free coconut pudding mix, and shredded coconut.
  5. Frost & Chill: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with a bit more coconut if desired (optional, may add points).
  6. Serve & Enjoy: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing for the best texture.
