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!

This was a fabulous cake! My 12 year old usually asks for a pineapple upside down cake on his birthday, but he said this year, he may ask for this one instead! I bought a regular sized cake mix and just split it in half (1.25 cups of the mix). I baked it cholesterol free by using egg whites and applesauce in place of oil. Then I followed the instructions as directed, except that I used neufchatel cheese instead of fat free cream cheese because it has even fewer calories, and then I omitted the walnuts because my husband doesn't like them. So with even less calories, I increased the serving size so there were 16 slices instead of 20. It was excellent! Even my 4-year old ate a whole piece! Very light dessert, not too sweet, and full of flavor and texture. We really liked it a lot.

I make a cake very similar to this - try this, when the cake comes out of the oven and has cooled, poke with a fork and put the crushed pineapple with juice over the cake, taking care to spoon it on all over the top to spread the juices over the cake. it does not get soggy at all! then spread the cream cheese mix over the pineapple and top with the cool whip. i like to top it with coconut for a more tropical take.

I used an 18 oz. pineapple cake mix, and used the juice from the pineapple instead of water. I made one layer of the pudding, cream cheese, and crushed pineapple, and pecans instead of walnuts (don't like 'em).

AS IS only a 2 because there is no taste/flavor. I may make this again with these changes. 1) I'd put the pineapple juice in the cake in place of the water. 2) I may tried putting a 2nd can of pineapple in the cake to for more flavor. If that doesn't do it, then I could try the trifle as others suggested. This is something that "feels" light after a meal.

I can't believe all of the five star ratings for this cake. It was very bland and boring. The picture looked so pretty and the recipe sounded great, so I tried it. We ended up throwing out the whole cake, minus two pieces.

Maybe it was the Jiffy cake mix, which I thought had a strange taste, I don't know. It may have been better if the pineapple was in the actual cake too, who knows. But it definitely needed something else.

This is an awesome combination of “light” ingredients pulling together a taste beyond expectations. The flavors of pineapple mix very well with the yellow cake and combination of FF cream cheese and sugar-free pudding. Everyone was most impressed.

The next time I make it I might try a white cake and ever so slightly increase the crushed pineapple, perhaps using 1.5 cans.

I used to make this cake all the time, until I realized that box mixes (the ones I've looked at anyway) have hydrogenated oils. Does anyone know of a cake mix that doesn't have hydrogenated oils/trans fats? I stopped using cake mixes for this reason. Same with whipped toppings. They claim no trans fats but they have hydrogenated oils, which are trans fats! I only use the cans of topping now.
