Caramel Cake Pineapple Supreme

A dessert that incorporates cake, caramel pudding, pineapple and cream. Rich, delicious and really easy to put together, one of my favourite recipes!
Servings 8 people

Ingredients
  

  • Plain cake cut into cubes (I baked a simple vanilla cake for this, but you can use box cakes or ready-made ones...any plain vanilla cake will do)
  • 1 box/packet instant caramel pudding
  • 1 ½ cups of whipping cream + 1 tbsp. icing sugar+ 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pineapple wedges drained
  • milk as needed to make the caramel pudding PLUS 1 more cup

Instructions
 

  • Here is the recipe for my Plain Vanilla Cake.
    Place the cubed cake pieces in a bowl/dish. Prepare the caramel pudding according to instructions, but add an extra cup of milk above what they ask for on the box. When ready, pour it onto the cake and let this cool completely. You can even cling film and refrigerate until the pudding sets.
    Whip the cream with the icing sugar and a tsp. of vanilla plus the pineapple wedges. Pour this on your cooled set cake pudding evenly.
    Heat the small caramel sachet that comes with the Instant Pudding for about 10 secs in the micro. Cut a small hole and drizzle the caramel all over the dessert. Refrigerate.
    Serve chilled & enjoy!

  1. do you whip the pineapples with the cream? do they not get in the way of the electric whisker?

    1. Yes whip with the cream. If you chop them into small bits they will not get in the way. 🙂

  2. jazakallah again for wonderful recipe made it for a party and everyone lovedIt I said all credit to fauzia

    1. W/Salaam, I use the liquid whipping cream, it does not come in sachets, comes in cartons. Not sure how big/small the sachets you mentioned are.

  3. thnx for ur reply i bought dream whip pck it has four sachet & plz can u post the recipe of small chicken burger shukran allah hafiz..

  4. Wen i poured the hot caramel pudding milk on the cake, the cake became soggy and the milk jst went in….is this rite…i thought it would be a different layer 🙁

    1. Yes this is perfectly right, it could not possibly be a different layer as it is liquid and therefore has to get absorbed into the cake. Allow it to set within the cake.

  5. i tried this recipe and it was delicious shukran i love your recipes i always try them

  6. Hi Fauzia, Can you use a blender to whip the whipping cream and pineapples or does it have to be an electric hand mixer?

      1. Hi Fauzia, I made this today. What can I say, a perfect cake soaked with custard that melts in your mouth…followed with a cream and just the right hints of flaked pineapples! Perfect balance of sweetness –
        The electric handmixer whipped the cream and pineapple really well.

        Thank you for sharing…. this is a keeper!

  7. As salamelikum I want to try this recipe for iftar after tomm. I hav whipping cream satchet from dream whip. Can u recommend me how many satchet should I use. Jazakallah

    1. W/Salaam, am not sure how many cups each packet whips up to. But since this is just a topping for the dessert, you can start by whipping one, spreading it on the dessert then see if you need more.

  8. tuday i will try dz for bachelor iftar party insha allah..
    fauziyaji.. can u pls suggest a nice electrical oven .. i am going tu get a new one..to make cakes, pizzas, fatayers etc.. we r in Qatar..(mail to me in seena.richoos@gmail.com)

    1. Hi!
      I always prefer an electric oven with a gas stove-top. Baking turns out best in electric ovens whilst pot/pan cooking always is easier on a gas burner. Make sure the brand of oven you select is one that has warranty and is recognised, a good investment in a good oven could save you decades of agony as opposed to buying a cheaper make and having to replace it within a few years. Make sure you get a fan-assisted oven, speeds up baking and makes sure heat is evenly distributed in the oven. Also, check that the oven has a grill, this will be handy for browning the tops of such things as buns/cakes/naans etc. Get a spacious oven that can take at least 2 eight inch cake pans side by side with about 1 inch space all around. All the best! 🙂

  9. Salam fauzia,
    I made this and everyone loved it! I want to make it again for eid but want to add more pineapple. Can I put a layer of pineapple before putting the cake or on top of the cake then pour the caramel custard .?Im not sure if the pineapple would ruin the milk. Please advice, thankyou.

  10. I can’t find instant caramel pudding in my local grocery store. I am in the usa, which brand do you use? Othewise can I use another flavor like butterscotch or chocolate. It looks so yummy.

  11. slms fauzia jst wanted to know if the caramel pudding wont be too runny as you suggest to add some more milk than the required quantity???will it set

  12. Salaams Fauzia,

    I really want to try this recipe, however I just cant seem to find instant caramel pudding. I live in the UK and went to Sainsburys yesterday to have a look but they dont have it. Although there were plenty of instant custards. Can I substitute the pudding with the custard? Or if you know where I could find it, that’d be great.

    Take care, wasalams.

  13. W/Salaam, I used to purchase Greens brand of Caramel pudding at any Tesco outlet in the UK. Do try checking there. Pudding will not give the same results.

  14. Salam Fauzia,
    I was wondering if you take into consideration gelatin that is amongst ingredient for puddings.That’s what stops from me from any pudding desssert,here in the west it is difficult to find ‘Halal’ gelatin.

    1. W/salaam, always buy halal gelatin or puddings which are marked halal (should be easily available in most desi/asian markets or online).

    1. Hmm, have never tried this with biscuits for a base, it would make a rather thin base, but you can give it a try.

  15. Hi,I am going to make this for a dinner at home and bought a ready made vanilla cake.Was just wondering cake cream and caramal all have sugar,wouldn’t it be too sweet?

  16. made it today and it is the best dessert i have ever made! Thanks! Only thing is cake was not as soft as i expected and i used your vanilla cake recipe. It was moist before adding pudding but not after putting it together. Still loved it

  17. Salam, I want to try this dessert for my party abt 15
    Guest. Can u pls tell me how manu people can serve this receipr?

  18. Salam, can we use vanilla powder? if yes how much?also do we have to use fresh pineapple chunks or canned?which is better? also can we use a tub of whipped cream which is not too much of a liquid?thank you

    1. W/Salaam, yes you can, just a pinch will be enough. I use canned pineapples and yes you can use whichever whipped cream available to you.

    1. W/Salaam, for the whipped cream? You can, yes. Although icing will give better results.

  19. Salam Fauzia, I want to try this pudding, just wondering what size cake and dish to use so that it is perfect for the liquid, also do we need to cover the whole base of dish with cake or scatter just few pieces in the dish?

    1. W/Salaam, a 9×11 inch pan should be perfect, and the cake should cover the base of the pan.

  20. Salam sis, I made this for my party for abt
    15 people. Turned out awesum. Everybody loved it.
    I put the chocolate sauce instead of caramel.
    Thank u sooo much.

  21. Hi Fauzia, just met a 6 year old who was a fan of you because ‘mummy makes yummy desserts’ she advertised this enough for me to want to make it….overall how long would you day this recipe takes? Including rough setting tinge?

    1. Awww that is so sweet!! The caramel pudding takes roughly 5 minutes to cook, if you are using a ready-made cake then that cuts down cake baking time (which would normally be about an hour from start to finish), and whipping the cream topping takes about 10 minutes. I prefer to let the dessert set for at least 4 hours to overnight. 🙂

  22. I wanna try this recipe but can’t find caramel pudding anywhere in USA, can I use any other flavor of pudding?

  23. Hi i can’t find caramel pudding in the USA instead got butterscotch pudding mix. Can I use that or does anyone know where to get caramel pudding mix in usa

    1. Try the indian stores, i am in Canada and i get it from the indian/pakistani store

  24. I am going to make it on Sunday for a party at my place, was wondering when you say cut the cake in cubes, what does that mean should I cut the whole cake in small square pieces? Also I matched the greens caramel ingredients and everything with the instant mix we get here in us it’s called jell o flan mix. It is a caramel pudding in which we use hot milk. Just letting you so if anyone else like me has gone to all the supermarkets in the US..
    Am hoping it will turn out good. Please reply me soon regarding the cake pieces

  25. Thanks a lot fauzia, I made this dessert and fish karahi for the dinners at my party and everyone loved it. Just a question for karahi what zeera is good white or black. I used black though, but just wanted to make sure

  26. Hi Fauzia..
    This recipe looks yumm!! i wanna try it ovr the weekend..
    jus a question though.. 🙂
    when we’ll whip the cream along with the pineapple wedges.. won’t they kinda’ get crushed or sliced into fine bits..

        Everyone who had it, loved it to the last bit. 🙂 🙂

    instead of using instant caramel pudding mix, can’t we use the pudding and caramel which you have used to prepare caramel pudding cake?

    1. Actually no, because you need
      Actually no, because you need the pudding cooked but not yet set. Best way to have that is by using the packet. 🙂

  29. H fauzia 🙂
    H fauzia 🙂
    Wonderful and easy recipe. I’d like to give it a go but was just wondering… If I bake the vanilla cake in a 9×11″ glass dish (as the one pictured above), do I still have to slice the cake into pieces and rearrange them with the inside part facing the top?? Or would it be sufficient to just pierce the cake and then pour the caramel on top and allow it to soak?? Will this work???

    1. Hi! Yes that is fine,
      Hi! Yes that is fine, although the cake may not absorb as much of the caramel pudding as it would if the cake is cubed (giving more room all around for the pudding to flow through and set. 🙂

  30. Hi, If I buy a cake that’s
    Hi, If I buy a cake that’s already baked from the supermarket for this recipe. Roughly how many grams should I get?

      Hi, the amount sounds about right, did you let the cake cool with the pudding? If you did and the pudding still did not set them please try a different brand because it SHOULD set as it cools. 🙂

    1. W/Salaam, thanks for the
      W/Salaam, thanks for the lovely feedback. Am surprised though about the water, that has never happened with me. Could it be that you overwhip the whipping cream? Normally whipping cream would release water if it is overwhipped. I cannot think what else it could be. Try to whip the cream for slightly less time and see if that helps. 🙂

  34. A.a fauzia.Do you kindly have

      W/Salaam, the amount given is normally perfect for the recipe but if you want a soggier pudding then you could use more.

      W/Salaam, well sure you can omit the layer of cream although the dessert will be a bit simpler that way.
