I took this for a desert potluck... It was a hit! I followed the recipe as posted, I did toast the Coconut first.

This is so good. It taste like a banana split sundae. I also poked holes in the cake and I used french vanilla pudding and cake mix. I also added some sliced cherries on top of the bananas. This cake just kept growing as I assembled it. It was huge so there will be plenty to share with neighbors and coworkers.

My recipe is very similar, except that when I cook the pineapple, I only use 1/4 c. sugar and 2 T. cornstarch to thicken it. I use 2 pkg. vanilla instant pudding, 3 c. milk and 1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese. I also do not use bananas or coconut. When I used to take this to work for a retirement party, it was the first one to be gone. The men would be mad at me if I didn't make it.

I would have to disagree with the title of this recipe! I followed the directions to a T and have to say that it was not a hit with my family. It was good, but I would not consider this a recipe I would make again. The aspect of the cake I did like was that it had an overall lightness about it. I expected more than what I got.

I made this along with a chocolate version for a bridal luncheon, both were wonderful selections. Everyone loved them, especially this one. This would also be a perfect Springtime dessert! A keeper and very easy.

This is a 5 Star IF you poke holes in the cake and pour the warm pineapple/sugar mixture over the top. Allow to cool before spreading the pudding and the other ingredients.

I made this cake for Christmas and it was a hit for the whole family! Awesome tasting cake, then I made a second 2 days later. Easy and quick....I did reduce the sugar because if you use sweetened pineapples (canned), a little sweet. I highly recommend!

My mother has been making this cake since I was a small girl with one difference. The purpose for heating the pineapple is so that you can poke holes in the cake with a fork and pour the hot pineapple over cake. Moist!!! Then you cool and add other ingredients. (Use Pecans instead of walnuts)

Our family loves this cake, But we like it more simplified. I omit the bannana,coconut(I like coconut but my family doesn't) and nuts. It is a hit everywhere we bring it.

I'm a hit-or-miss cook, so when I decided to try a new cake recipe for my boyfriend's birthday I was worried. We were too stuffed from dinner to try it that night. Later he said he and his daugher loved it and he took it to work and within minutes it was gone! I never got to try this cake for myself, but I'm making it for Fathers Day and by golly- I'll save some for myself!

This is a delicious cake that I've made many times. I really recommend that you poke holes on top of the cake when it comes out of the oven before you pour the crushed pineapple mixt. on top. Then let it cool before spreading the rest of the ingredients (otherwise, you have a sloppy mess). Also, the coconut is best when it's toasted lightly before sprinkling on top.

This makes a great summer dessert. Sweet, but not too heavy or filling. Everyone liked it and I will make again. I toasted the coconut for the topping. Also, I reduced the amount of milk in the pudding to 1.5 cups instead of 2 for a thicker pudding.
