In a large mixing bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into a 13-in x 9-in x 2-in baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Remove cake from the oven; place pan on a wire rack. Poke holes in warm cake with a fork. Spoon pineapple mixture evenly over cake; cool completely.

For frosting, in a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Spread over cake. Spread whipped topping over pudding. Store in refrigerator.
