Reviews
This cake was easy to prepare and it tasted great! I used pecans instead of walnuts, since that's what I had on hand. It is cool and refreshing and a really nice addition to a potluck or other gathering
I've been making this cake for years, since I saw it in my Taste of Home magazine. It's a perfect summertime treat that everyone just loves! For a little extra pineapple flavor, use the juice from your crushed pineapple in place of the water for the box cake mix!
This cake is wonderful, and easy to make. My husband is so happy when I make this for him, and have made it many times. Thank you for this recipe.
I made this for a luau themed party and it was a HUGE hit!!!
Very moist, and the taste is awesome, I am making again for the 2nd time today!!
I have made this many times. I am making it again for our Easter dinner at my church.
Very easy, refreshing, and always a hit.
This is soooo good! It has great flavor. I took this to a carryin at work. It would be hard to store this cake in the refrigerator since it is made on a large cookie sheet and with all the loose topping it would be hard to cut up and store in smaller containers. But it is a great cake for get togethers!
Yes this is a wonderful cake - made it and took it to work - they loved it!
