I make this cake all the time but I use a pineapple cake mix. More pineapple flavor that way.

I made this cake for my brother's birthday,all the adults liked it because it wasn't very sweet and had a light texture,kids did not touched it because unfortunately they're used to the grocery store kind of cake,me,I did not liked the combination of the vanilla pudding and the cream cheese,next time I'll leave out the latter,it is a good recipe overall.

I got this recipe years ago from a co-worker but lost it. I am so happy to find it because I could never remember how much milk or what size pudding to use. The original recipe I had called for a full size STRAWBERRY cake mix. My husband is diabetic so  I am going to try this with Pillsbury sugar free cake mix this time.

Fabulous dessert! I used white cake mix with diet Sprite instead of eggs & oil (and a touch of leftover pineapple juice). Following suggestions by other reviewers, I poked the top of the cooled cake with a fork and allowed all the juice from the 20-oz can to sink into the cake. Everything else went according to recipe. We can't get enough of this stuff!
