Had a problem with the cake being kind of wet and soggy. It had a good taste, but probably won't make it again.

THIS IS SOOOO GOOD! Really best cake of this kind I have ever made. Really easy and extremely moist. Only change I made was to use cherries rather than pecans in the centers of the pineapple (personal preference). Hubby really raved about this cake. Am making again today for a party tomorrow!
