  1. This is a WONDERFUL cake ~ I had this recipe 20 years ago and lost it ~ but luckily found it again here at RecipeZaar. I cut the oil by half and used 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce to the recipe. This cake has a mellow tropical flavor and is very moist and the cream cheese frosting finishes it perfectly ~ I added some of the left over pineapple juice to increase the tropical flavor. Thanks dojemi ~ made for MY 3 CHEFS, November 2009!
