Hi, I am so pleased with this recipe, I have made it five or six times. I suggest you drain the juice from both cans of fruit. Then you can add liquid as you need it. I used a boxed butter cake in a bundt cake pan. I mixed together some sugar and cinnamon, poured in half of my already mixed (accordingto package) cake mix, sprinkled the sugar and cinnamon mix over that, then added the rest of the cake mix. Bake according to directions. You will find there will be plenty of icing left over when using the bundt cake pan. I fill up the center of the cake with it. Anything left over, I eat. This is the best cake I've ever had in my life! Thank you, Glenda. Katherine D (katydid) June 12, 2009 I made this cake again for a church picnic. This time I used the Kentuckey Butter Cake found on this site. However, I think I took too much juice from the crushed pineapple. I made the cake the day before and refrigerated it. This always makes it better, but this time the cake was not as moist and good as on previous occasions when I used a box cake. I'm not blaming the cake, though. I think I will take the advise of other reviewers and refrigerate the icing before putting on the cake. I will let you know how that goes. It's still the best cake in the world. I also prefer the four layers rather than the bundt cake pan. K.

I made this for a co-worker's birthday and it was gone in no time. I did substitute 1/4 of the water in the cake mix with coconut rum and added 1 tsp of almond extract to the rum. Very Yummy!

I've made it in couple of occasions and its wonderful~! Very refreshing. Though I've found original frosting too soupy and it doesn't quite stay on the cake. I've took out 1/3 of the pineapple juice instead of pouring it all in. Also the cream is more than enough for even 3 cakes!!! thank you for the great recipe!

taste great, the frosting wouldn't hold shape because i forgot to put in vanilla pudding powder and (i think this is important issue too) i my country New Zelnd we don't have frozen whip so i use white chocolate mousse instead. I assembled them in 2 glass bowls and they look like ambrosia.

This cake is indescribably good. The topping reminds me of ambrosia fruit salad and I could eat it with a spoon! Ambrosia usually has coconut in it and I can imagine coconut would be good on this cake. I used "real vanilla" white cake mix and cheesecake pudding mix instead of plain vanilla. The topping was just a little soupy and I had trouble getting it to stay on the sides of the cake (it was fine on the top and between the layers). I think if I had prepared the frosting through the step where the pudding is mixed in and chilled it till it set up a bit before folding in the whipped topping it would have worked out better. Refrigerate the assembled cake overnight for best results.

I didn't get a chance to taste this, but the people clamoring for the recipe raved about how moist and delicious it was. I did make it the day before as other reviewers suggested.

I made this as one of 2 desserts for Easter. Used 3 eight-inch square foil pans (to make 3 short layers, and no cutting layers involved). Used French vanilla pudding and French Vanilla Cool Whip. Followed others advice. Made on Friday, let it sit uncovered in frige (icing protects it), and got rave reviews and requests for the recipe. Thanks, Glenda!

I made this for my Mom's 81st birthday. Everyone loved it. The only change I would make is preparing it the day before the party. It really does taste better on the second day.

I think I must have done something wrong although I followed the recipe exactly. The final product was not appealing in appearance. It did however improve in taste after a day or two in the fridge.
