Pineapple Poke Cake Recipe

Reviewed on May. 26, 2012 by Vicks6

After reading all the reviews, I made this cake but I used a pineapple cake mix, and I doubled the amount of pineapple and brown sugar. Next time I won't boil off as much of the pineapple juice. It is a very refreshing cake. I would make this again.

I have made this several times for family gatherings and everyone loves it! My sister-in-law even asked for the recipe. We all thought it was perfect the way it is!

Boxed mixes and frozen whipped toppings, including Cool Whip Free (look at the ingredients for partially hydrogenated oils) have TRANS FATS and they are NOT healthy!

I do not like pineapple, however this cake is delicious! If you are a big pineapple fan, I would suggest doubling the pineapple and brown sugar. That way you are sure to get pineapple in every bite! Will definitely make again.

Everyone loved this recipe! I doubled the pineapple and brown sugar topping, and I used regular pudding (3 oz size) and regular topping, since none of us like the sugar free versions. It was a hit and a "keeper".

My husband too is a diabetic,so I adjusted the receipe with reduced sugar cake mix,sugar free pudding & whipped topping although I did not use the brown sugar substitute. I thought it was great, he thought it should have more pineapple. But the good thing is his blood suger did not zoom this morning. So I will definatly make it again.

My Mother made this type of cake when I was young and it brings back all thise wonderful memories! Being a diabetic now, I will use the Splenda and sugar free cool whip! I always adjust recipes to my liking.

The name pineapple should not be in the tittle. It is just a yellow cake with an occasional tiny fleck of pineapple in every 4th bite. Will not make it again.

this recipe was a big hit at a church dinner! I do agree with others that more pineapple should be added to the recipe. Overall, I'd make it again for a special occasion.

I would make it again but I would use pineapple juice instead of water. I felt it needed a little more flavor.

This is delicious! Made it for a quilt guild meeting and everyone loved it. As others have said, I too would add more pineapple. Simple and easy recipe - the best kind!

I agree with everyone else about the pineapple. Also the cake didn't really soak up the pineapple juices because they were cooked off a lot. When I make it again I will not cook off the pineapple as much so the juices soak down into the cake more, or I will buy a pineapple flavored cake mix.

Delicious. I, too, would add a little more pineapple to the topping. I used Splenda brown sugar. Whole thing disappeared quickly. A keeper.

I made this cake for a church fellowship, and it was well received. It did take longer to bake than the directions. It is a delicious, moist cake I will definitely make again!

The cake did not bake with the required time so I had to add minutes for baking; therefore the cake was a bit dry and heavy. Also the pineapple did not seem to be enough for the top of the cake.

The cake is very good, but I would use more pineapple and Splenda brown sugar.

I used splenda brown sugar instead of regular. The cake was very good. I think next time I will make a double batch of frosting.

I would add a bit more pineapple and did add some orange liquer to the Cool Whip & topped w/crushed pecans. Cool Whip is kinda un-tastey so often add Creme de Menthe or something to 'spruce' up the taste.

This was delicious! I forgot to buy the yellow cake mix when I shopped, but had a spice cake on hand and used that instead! It was the most refreshing and delicious cake! I will use a bit more pineapple the next time I make it, but not too much. Overall, this is an excellent recipe! Thanks!

this is really good and moist. BUT I would use more pineapple next time I make it. The 8-oz size is not enough pineapple flavor.
