Summertime Icebox Cake

In the old days--before refrigerators were a household item--the icebox held blocks of ice delivered by the iceman. The only things one put in an icebox were those that would certainly go bad (milk, cream, eggs). Here is a wonderful summertime cake that everyone loves, and it's Q&E:

1) Grease and flour a large sheet pan (like the lunch ladies use).
2) Prepare a boxed cake mix (white, yellow, or lemon) and bake for 20 minutes. Don't overcook. Allow to cool before icing.
3) While cake is cooling, whip up the icing and place it in the "icebox."
4) Spread with icing and keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Icing:
1 small box Instant Pudding mix (I use sugar free to cut calories)
1 8 oz. container of Cool Whip (or other brand)
1 can crushed pineapple, well drained
1/2 cup nuts (I use pecans, but it's better with walnuts)
1 cup coconut flakes

Serves 12. Tastes good the next day if covered in fridge.
I'll post a photo next time I bake one of these lovelies!
