I have been making this cake for years, but with a slight variation. The recipe passed to me uses an un-sharpened pencil to make the holes. I cover the pencil with a little plastic wrap to ensure cleanliness. The holes are larger than what you get with a fork and this allows the pineapple to get into the cake a bit better. Then after adding the pineapple I sprinkle the cake with pecans before adding the pudding. I typically use cool whip and then on top, I sprinkle more chopped pecans with the pineapple. This is the cake we had for our 10th wedding anniversary party and it was made in a half sheet cake size. I used maraschino cherries to make a heart on top of the cake. It is one of our favorites!!

3.5 stars. It is good, light and tasty. The texture was not too loose or watery at all. I guess using the yellow store-bought cake mix is what just makes it not-the-best-cake-in-the-world. If I make this again, I think I would make a homemade cake instead of the store-bought kind.
