This recipe is good, but after I tasted it, it seemed flat to me. Then I thought maybe it's because there is no salt. I think I might try it again and add about 1/2 tsp. of salt and see if that helps. I remember hearing that you really have to have a little salt in all your baking.

Wow, this was great, so moist and very tasty, used 3/4 cup Splenda and 3/4 cup sugar instead and still worked fine, could even cut down on real sugar a bit more as the pineapple gives the cake a natural sweetness. Didn't have the pineapple juice so used the syrup from my canned pineapple instead and was great. Don't like raisins so left them out also. Iced it with a cream cheese icing and was absolutely decadent, my new favourite cake!!!! Yummmmmmm!!!!

Awsome recipe!!! Everyone loved it. I had to change a few things cause I didn't have them though and it was still incredible. I doubled the recipe and used a 20oz can of crushed pineapple and instead of white sugar I used 4 cups of brown sugar. I omitted the pineapple huice as I didn't have any on hand but I figured that the extra crushed pineapple and juice along with the moisture content of the brown sugar would make up for it. It turned out fine! I also baked it in a pan a slight bit larger than a 9x13 with high sides. Thanks so much for a great recipe, will definatly be using many times over! :-)
