Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Church Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Combine the Jiffy Cake Mix, egg, and cold water or pineapple juice in a mixing bowl, stirring until just blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Allow cake to cool completely.
  2. In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Whisk the instant vanilla pudding with milk until thickened, then fold this pudding mixture into the cream cheese until well combined.
  3. Spread the cream cheese and pudding mixture over the cooled cake evenly. Distribute well-drained crushed pineapple on top.
  4. Spread the whipped topping over the pineapple layer and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
