Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a Bundt pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, crushed pineapple, oil, sour cream, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Pour half the cake batter into the prepared pan. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over it, then top with the remaining cake batter.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Mix powdered sugar with pineapple juice until smooth for the glaze. Adjust consistency as needed.
Once the cake is cool, drizzle glaze over the top and sprinkle with toasted coconut if desired.
Slice and serve.

Notes

Try using pineapple or white cake mix for a flavor variation.
Add chopped pecans or shredded coconut for texture and flavor.
Make sure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing for a smooth filling.
Use baking spray with flour to prevent sticking in Bundt pans with intricate designs.
