YUMMY! I used a Pam-sprayed Silicone Floral Cupcake Pan from Pampered Chef. I had enough batter for 2 pans of cupcakes (24 total. I doubled the topping recipe - even had a lil extra topping to mix inside the batter! I baked them at 350 for 16 minutes, cooled them upright on a cooling rack up for 10 minutes then flipped them over (in the pan to protect the cupcakes from my kitty cats and my husband to cool for an hour. NOTHING stuck to the pan. They were a HUGE success - I've already has requests for more!

Ok - I usually read the reviews before I try a new recipe and of course the one time I didn't, I should have. Recipe calls for 3 1/2 lbs of pineapple. . .I used about 2 1/4 and still had way too much. I also had left over cake mix, so I decided to make a small cake with the leftovers. I'm not a novice when it comes to baking and followed the directions to the letter. When I saw that I had to cool the cakes in the pan for 1 hour, I thought that seems a little too long, and it was. All the topping stuck to the pans and only the cake came out. I saved them by spooning the topping back onto the cakes, but these looked nothing like the pretty cakes Giada did. I will take the advice of some of these reviews and next time try spraying with Pam. They taste great and would really like to master the correct measuring and sticking problem. Will try again, hopefully with better luck.

Nice, very tasty and fresh, portable.

I added a glaze, which really topped it off. Sugar glaze with 2 c confectioners sugar, 3T pineapple juice and 1/2 t almond extract. Worked nicely with cakes, looked rich and added to flavors of cake. Used the glaze because we were bringing to a friends bbq.

Very easy to make. Great for a party, we put a knife out and people cut pieces off to eat. Cake was super moist and the pineapple on top was so sweet.

Wow very delicious cakes & so easy to make.I love my mini pan makes the cakes look so wonderful & they don't stick that was amazing to me .I thought with all the design they would but they pop out with ease.
Will definitely make these often.Had some left batter so just put it in muffin tins were nice muffins as well would be great with blueberries or other fruit.
Thank you for the great recipe

This was delicious. I didn't have mini-bundts - only a regular bundt. I followed an earlier reviewers directions and the cake came out wonderful. It kind of fell apart though, I should have turned it over on a plate and not on my cutting board. I could eat the cake part all by itself.

The cakes were so moist. I could not find the bundt mini cake pans. I used a six large muffin pan. You will have some batter left over. Do not fill too full as I did. I got nervous and open the oven up and took some batter out. I am glad I did. They were really excellent. I even froze some and they were just as good when thawed. This is a great recipe. Thanks to all who post reviews and help me out.

My mother-in-law has a really good Pineapple Cake recipe that has crushed pineapple right in the cake. She won't give me the recipe. I've been hunting for years for something close. I wondered if I could adapt this one. LOVE IT! I think it tastes better than hers! I made a few changes: 2 whole eggs instead of 3 egg whites; a 20 oz. can crushed pineapple with all the juice (gave me 2/3 c. for the pineapple juice in the recipe plus 2/3 c. more to replace the water with juice I did not make the topping but instead put the crushed pineapple in the batter; and I used vanilla instead of almond extract. I baked it in two pans and layered with a cream cheese icing. I now have a Pineapple Cake recipe!!

It is midnight right now and I have to get up in only a few hours, yet I couldn't go to bed before thanking you Giada for this recipe. It was so easy, yet so wonderful. I only found the 24 bundt cake pans at the store and they were extremely expensive so I just used the big one I have. Let's just say that it should've fed like 12 people and the four of us ate the whole thing in a matter of minutes. I just have to work out a little extra tomorrow, but totally worth it!
