When I make this cake I take out one cup of white flour and add one cup of whole wheat flour. And I never make this unless I am going to share it with company because I could just sit down and eat the whole cake.

    This is a great cake! INstead of making the cake portion from scratch, I used a yellow box cake to save time. I made it in a 9x13 pan and used a one cup of pineapple juice instead of the water the box recipe called for. I also doubled the coconut topping to sprinkle on top. I can't believe how many compliments I've gotten. This will be a recipe I will use again and again.

    As soon as I saw this recipe, I knew I would have to make it. I'm a pushover for anything with pineapple in it. As far as I can see the only thing wrong with the recipe is it only makes a 9in cake! It was gone too quick. I think it can be doubled and baked in a 13x9in pan. But I would leave the sauce as it is, for there was plenty of it for the 9in cake. This is a recipe that will go in my favorites section!!!

    This cake is wonderful! Very moist and tasty. The pineapple taste is sort of lost to the coconut so next time I think I'll use a little more. But it is REALLY an excellent cake.
