Terrific....this was the verdict on this wonderfuly moist cake. The pineapple in the cake was very good, combining with the tropical-like icing. It was a festive cake and was definately a crowd pleaser. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Quite delicious flavor combinations. Cake was so easy to make and low-fat before adding the icing! I liked this cake idea very much. However, when I poured the cooked Icing on top the hot baked cake, it got very soggy. Next time I make this, I will use half the evaporated milk, and the stated amount of all other ingredients. That should make it perfect.

This is absolutely delicious and really easy to do. This was the first time I made it, but decided to convert some things to natural ingredients and it still turned out to be fantastic! I used whole wheat pastry flour, turbinado sugar, and fresh pineapple. For the icing, I used earth balance, coconut milk, and turbinado sugar. Soooooo good. I can't stop eating it.
