Piña Colada Cola Cake

This wonderfully moist cake is a breeze to make and makes people think you've slaved all day to create it. It's moist enough not to need frosting but it's that added flavor of pineapple that makes it a piña colada! The origin of this cake is from a Recipe generator Software Disk my mother gave me. I took the basic recipe and improved the flavor and added the frosting.
