This recipe will definitely be made again & again in my kitchen! So easy to put together, & very, very easy on the taste buds! AND for me, none of the 3 optional ingredients were . . . optional ~ They all went into the pan! Made this first one to share with a neighbor couple, & today I'll be making it again just for us here at home! Thanks, much, for sharing this great recipe! [Made & reviewed in Sweet Traditions tag]

I made this again today. It's a favorite at our house. I did not have crushed pineapple, so used chunk pineapple, and think I now prefer it. I hate coconut, so did not miss it in the least! I used 2 sticks of margarine, and cut each stick into eights, laying them on top of the cake. Then added about a half cup of walnuts over the top. So good!

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005. I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time! I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best! Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>I love to join in all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! </strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes. Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
