Easy to make. Easy to bake. But when I had to immediately "invert" it after pulling it out from the oven I had the most difficult time and my cake ended up in three separate pieces! Horrible to the eyes. However, it had good flavor and so I didn't stress about it. I think the directions should be a little more specific on HOW to invert it.

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!
