I made this for my granddaughter's 5th birthday dinner. She loved it, as did everyone else!

I think you are supposed to drain the pineapple juice from an 8 oz. can, use that in the cake mix, and use the actual pineapple pieces in the frosting. That's the way I read it but I haven't actually made it yet...

This cake was amazing! I've made it several times in different forms, I've made it as cupcakes which my little one loves and as cake pops. I will make this over and over again. The only think I did differently was add coconut to the cake mix itself.
