Step-by-Step Instructions for Church Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Combine Jiffy Cake Mix with egg and cold water or pineapple juice, stirring until blended. Pour into the pan and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. In another bowl, whisk instant vanilla pudding mix with milk until it thickens. Combine both mixtures for a creamy topping.
  3. Once the cake cools, spread the creamy mixture over it. Distribute drained crushed pineapple on top, then spread the whipped topping over everything.
  4. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to meld the flavors. Slice into squares to serve.
