this recipe brings back memories. I made this so many times, (years ago) that I can't even count them all. It was a family favorite, and especially loved by my 4 kids. Great, great cake.

    Very tasty and just the right amount of sweetness. A great summer treat! The frosting definitely steals the show. I made it in a 9X13 dish, but next time would do it in layers to get more of the frosting in the middle of the cake.

    Anita, this is a wonderful recipe. Quick and easy. I brought it to work and the staff loved it. I used Betty Crocker yellow Super Moist cake mix. I made the cake batter as directed on the box but I used pineapple juice instead of water. The cake was moist and so delicious. I made the topping that night and put it in a covered container in the refrigerator overnight. I frosted the cake the next morning before I left for work. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. I will be making this again and again.

    I remembered this cake from my childhood, and when I found it I ran out to get everything to make it that morning! The texture is very enjoyable, the sweetness is just right. I too, drained the pineapple and used the reserved juice in the cake mix. I also toasted some macadamia nuts and sprinkled them on top, adding a wonderful crunch. One word of caution: Make sure you have enough people to help you finish off this cake, or you might be tempted to eat it all yourself!!
