Loved it! I used a white cake mix, substituted pineapple juice + 3 tablespoons Southern Comfort + water to equal the water called for on the cake mix package. Yummy, moist, and beautiful. Best compliment of all was the utter silence as everyone devoured their slice! P.S. This recipe doesn't include the cake mix, so the numbers are off, you should correct it.
