This is my son's favourite! We have made it a few times and it always turns out wonderful... We're making it again tomorrow ;)

My husband thought this wasn't too bad and I can't say that I liked it. We used the pineapple cake and the vanilla pudding because we couldn't find pineapple pudding. The problem at first was that the cake didn't really cook internally like a cake does. There just seemed to be too much liquid going on. We ended up putting foil over the top to stop the cake from browning too much and to give the inside a chance to set up. After that it seemed to turn out fine but the taste didn't seem to be anything special. It was too pinapple-y for me and too sweet.
