This came out perfect. It was very easy to make. I followed the recipe until it came time for the icing. It looked beautiful the way it was and the taste was just like my mother made it when I was a kid. Loved it! I'm sure I will make it many more times.

Read every post. I too had alarms going off because of overflow but taste was well worth it! Just put tinfoil or cookie sheet underneath next time. VERY easy to make. You don't have to be an expert baker to make. My 11 year old made it!

Excellent flavor but came out runny on top, I don't know if I put too much brown sugar and butter but the cake texture was so moist it was devoured the same day! I loved the frosting!

While the cake was baking my husband exclaimed" wow" as it was rising up! The most yummy delicious cake, my kids did not wait for icing to be completed as they were overpowered by the pineapple aroma. It's a hit!
I did put some tsp of pineapple syrup over the cakes to keep slightly moist. Thank you Paula for an amazing cake receipe.

Scrumdiliumptious. I used two 10" pans and it was perfecto! It was moist and delicious. Definitely my kind of cake. I didn't make the icing, but I will try CakeBaker1990's idea of the whipped cream with a dash of pineapple rum and a splash of cherry rum... Costco's is good, but this one is comparable. They use pineapple chunks. It doesn't look as pretty as the rounds, but it's easier to cut. Nevertheless, this is an excellent recipe and it was a big hit at our Palm Sunday potluck, at my mother's house in Inglewood, California. Sidenote: My mom who's an excellent food critic said that the cake was gummy... However, she's from the old school and enjoys dry poundcake with a crunchy crust that's been baked in nonstick bundt pan and kept in the oven too long. I'm from the Twinkie and Hostess cupcake generation, so I like moist - and this recipe is just that.

Loved this recipe easy and simple! Very tasty I might add. Instead of using the Pineapple buttercream I made some whipped topping and added a bit of Pineapple rum and a splash of cherry rum and put it between the layers. It was a HIT!

For those of you who are struggling to get it out of the pan. Only let it cool for 3-5 minutes then flip it out. If it cools completely in the pan it will stick!

For those of you who are afraid of stacking it or can't stack it without it falling apart: stick it in the freezer for 1-2 hours (or longer if you want after it cools completely. It will be much easier and less fragile to handle.

OMG wonderful and easy! I have only made one cake in my life and that was 35 years ago. I followed this recipe word for word and I loved it. My husband loved it the most! The frosting was great too! I hope the next time I make this it will come out as well. I wish there was a place to post pictures because it looks almost the same as hers. I would recommend this to anyone. The cake it self was like pound cake and both the frosting and cake were not overly sweet.

This cake was very easy to make and I loved the cake flour. It made the cake so light and fluffy. I will admit that is a very sweet cake but I love sweets!!! Although, I didn't add the icing, the cake definitely stands on its own without it. I used a 9x13 pan and had no overflow problems and the cake popped out perfectly fine. Thank you for another delicious recipe!

thank you Ms. Paula this cake was a hit, i follow the directions carefully and make sure the measurement to the recipe was accurate....it was PERFECT my husband love it, he couldn't stop eating it. The cake was moist, fluffy, but firm. it also was very light meaning to cake was easy to digest. with the pineapples, cherries and frosting the flavors all come together with beauiful. tasty joy to your patlet. This a definelty a must have recipe in my kicthen. However, i do agree with some viewers it does make plenty of cake batter, so, i ues two square pans it bake for 1 hour and a half.
