My aunt has made this cake for years. It is now one of our favorites. Sometimes I make it in one 9 by 13 pan - baking about 32 minutes in oven.

DIRECTIONS

- Bake until golden brown and top springs back when lightly pressed with your finger- 24 to 27 minutes.
- Remove racks from oven and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Run a dinner knife around the edge and invert each cake onto a rack, then invert them again onto a plate so they are right side up.
- While they are still warm, poke hole in the top of each layer with a wooden skewer.
- Pour the pineapple juice over the layers so that the cake soaks up all the juice.
