Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
Make the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, crushed pineapple, oil, sour cream, vanilla, and baking powder. Mix until smooth.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until creamy.
Layer the Batter and Filling: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining cake batter.
Bake the Cake: Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar with pineapple juice until smooth. Adjust with more juice or sugar for desired consistency.
Glaze the Cake: Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake. Garnish with toasted coconut, if desired.
Serve: Slice and enjoy your tropical treat.
