"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!"

Where did she say "Healthy"? I noticed that she said she made a few changes to reduce fat and calories, and she did do that. So what exactly is the problem? This is a delicious cake and I'll make it again, probably soon!

This is not an healthy receipe at all. The cake mixes in the stores have hydrogenated fats in them and so does the frozen fat-free whipped topping. I have looked high and low for non-hydrogenated whipped toppings but they do not exist. I don't allow anything that is hydrogenated into my kitchen. My husband has heart problems and he wouldn't be able to eat this.

How do you cube the reduced-fat cream cheese?

I like this recipe. However I like to make the pineapple layer the first layer on the cake and then add the other toppings. The pineapple juices gives the cake a wonderfully moist texture and the other toppings add just the right touch. So great recipe but try switching the layers around to make it even better!

Made this several hours ago and it's great. Fragrance in house is super; taste is great. Maybe just a bit too much pineapple on top but that's just a personal choice.
