"I got this wonderful recipe from a cousin whose husband was Hawaiian," notes JoAnn Desmond from Madison Heights, Virginia. "I've changed it some to reduce the fat and calories, but it still tastes as rich as the original. It's very simple to make...and guests will love it. Enjoy!"

The instructions for the cream cheese, milk and pudding are not complete if you are not careful you will end up with a huge mess and wasted ingredients!! Thanks for being so clear.

This was an easy, tastey cake. My grandkids were coming so I left out the pineapple (picky eaters). I had some coconut leftover so I sprinkled that on half the cake. Everyone raved about it - I think I'll try it with a chocolate cake mix next.

I made this cake and shared it with a friend. We both thought it was absolutely delicious and I will definitely make it again. Next time I might try using the pineapple juice as someone else suggested instead of the buttermild. It is moist and creamy and absolutely delicious..

To add more pineapple flavor: simply replace the buttermilk with the juice drained from the pineapple. Add water, if needed to equal the 1-1/4 cup. Fold the crushed pineapple into pudding mixture. Whipped topping, if desired, sprinkle with coconut and chopped nuts, ( macadamia) for a twist.PS.Use whole eggs.

First of all, how miniscule a piece of cake do you get by getting 18 servings out of a 9x13 cake?!I made this recipe for Mother's Day and was less than impressed. I realize it's a lower fat recipe, but I found the cake itself to be very, very dry. I did not overbake it as at 25 mins, the toothpick came out a bit sticky; baked for 5 mins more. Used brand-name ingredients (Duncan Hines, Phil. cream cheese, Jello pudding, Dole pineapple; Cool Whip, Baker's Coconut). There was no distinct pineapple flavor as I expected, and the pudding/cream cheese layer offered up not much flavor either. The first thing my husband said after eating his piece of cake was plain and simple: I don't like it. I'm sorry this turned out the way it did, and I'm very doubtful I'll make it again.

Just because he has heart disease doesn't mean he can't eat it, mine does too but the key is moderation as his cardioligist says " Don't eat the whole damn cake!!!!" Marilyn
