Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Prepare the cake batter as directed on the box.
-
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and pour the cake batter into it. Bake according to the package instructions until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and shredded coconut until well combined. Set this coconut frosting aside.
-
Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool completely. Then, using a fork, crumble the cake into small pieces.
-
In each jar, layer the ingredients starting with a spoonful of cake crumbs at the bottom. Next, add a layer of pineapple slices, followed by a dollop of coconut frosting.
-
Repeat the layers until the jar is filled, ending with a final layer of coconut frosting on top.
-
Drizzle a splash of coconut rum over the top of each jar cake for an extra burst of tropical flavor.
-
Garnish each jar cake with a maraschino cherry and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
-
Refrigerate the jar cakes for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the frosting to set.
