ISO Pineapple Poke Cake

[Sarah]

I used to have a recipe for a cake that started with a golden cake mix, and after baking, you poured a mixture of pineapple juice and coconut and milk (maybe??) over it while still hot, and then ice the whole thing with drained crushed pineapple and cool whip before sprinkling with more coconut.

It's not high brow cuisine, nor light, but it's darn yummy! I can't find my recipe, but want to make it for a potluck.

Does anyone have a recipe for this?

Thanks!
