I make this every year for staff at school. The only thing I do differently is that I only use about half of the pudding mix that it calls for. The whole box was too sweet and rich. Delicious!

Great cake, moist, delicious. I used yellow sugar free cake mix, pineapple in it's own juice, sugar free pudding mix and sugar free coolwhip. Diabetic friendly. Dixie in Eolia

Love this cake! It's always a hit when taken to a party. I use Duncan Hines Yellow Cake, and it turns out perfect every time! I do cut back on the pineapple juice and only use 1/2 cup.
