01 Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Thoroughly drain the crushed pineapple. For best results, place the pineapple in a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve and squeeze out as much juice as possible. This prevents a soggy filling. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Prepare the cake batter according to the package instructions. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Reserve the remaining batter for another use, such as cupcakes or a smaller cake. (5 minutes)
04 Step

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. (40 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add the milk, mixing until smooth. Add the instant vanilla pudding mix and beat until the mixture thickens. Refrigerate the pudding mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow it to fully set. (10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Once the cake is cool and the pudding mixture has thickened, assemble the torte. Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cooled cake. Sprinkle the drained pineapple over the pudding layer. Gently spread the thawed whipped topping over the pineapple. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the whipped topping. (15 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Refrigerate the Millionaire's Cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set completely. (120 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use a golden butter cake mix instead of yellow cake mix.
Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet before chopping for enhanced flavor and aroma.
If you don't have a 9x13 inch pan, you can use two 8-inch round pans. Adjust the baking time accordingly.
Feel free to add other toppings such as shredded coconut, maraschino cherries, or chocolate shavings.
To ensure even distribution of the pineapple, pat it dry with paper towels after draining.
