This was a big hit with my inlaws and family! I did alter it slightly for the waistline. I used low sugar cake mix, sugarfree-fatfree pudding, no sugar added applesauce in place of the oil and light cool whip! It was fantastic! I will definately make this again! Thank you for the great recipe!

Pretty darn good cake! I used a pineapple cake mix, two large cans of mandarin oranges (drained one can)and mashed the oranges into tiny pieces. I put my cake into a 9x13, which worked fine. For the frosting I used cheesecake flavored pudding and added 1/2 cup of chopped pecans - this is a must! It gives it really great texture and nutty sweetness. The crushed pineapple is fabulous! I accented the cake with strawberry chunks - to give a little color contrast. It got great reviews and will definitely make again - next time I will make them into cupcakes!

With all the 5 star reviews, I was a little disappointed. I guess it just seemed a little too good to be true, an easy cake that gets 5 stars in my book. I will admit that I am a dessert snob, so maybe I am a little less likely to rate a cake 5 stars unless it is absolute top notch. It was good, but nobody went back for seconds, which is odd in my sweet-toothed family. I don't see myself making this again, but it was worth a try. For a beginner cook, this is probably a great recipe to try. Based on taste alone I would have given it a 3 rating, but because it was so easy to follow I bumped it up to 4. Thanks!

Even the people who don't like pineapple enjoyed this cake. It's perfect for spring.

Yum - I would easily give this 4-1/2 stars! I chopped up some mandarin oranges and added it to the fluff icing along with the pineapple. I also took the drained pineapple juice, added some sugar and heated onto the stove into a simple syrup. After the cake was cooled I punched holes into the cake with a fork and lightly brushed the cooled syrup onto the layers to keep the cake moist before icing. I also iced the cake on the sides. Anyone that had a problem with the icing slipping down the sides - make sure you refrigerate the icing for a little while before using it to help the pudding mix set-up. I had no problems at all after that. Great cake!

A very light and refreshing cake. I used about 12 oz. of Cool Whip for the frosting and only lightly drained the pineapple.

This recipe is great only instead of just putting icing on the top of the layers I cover the entire cake with the icing.

This is always a crowd pleaser (My manager asked me to give his wife the recipe) and is not yout typical 'heavy' cake. Light and refreshing and always moist. I love this cake and make it in a 9x13 pan - you can also reduce the calories by using lite cool whip in icing and some applesause in place of the oil...I would say 'MAKE THIS CAKE'!!!

This cake is divine! Everyone loves it! I like to put some of the mandarin oranges in the icing as well as the pineapple. Also, I double the icing recipe that way I can generously icing and if there is leftovers we just eat it out of the bowl!!!!

A big hit at our Super Bowl Party! After wings and chips and chili etc, everyone was in the mood for a lighter dessert. To those who had trouble with the frosting: make sure you take the time to drain the pineapple and keep the frosting in the refrigerator until you need it (and after frosting). Thanks for a great recipe!

Really moist cake and the icing was perfect! My husband doesn't like icing usually because it's too sweet, but he loved this. I used a can of oranges instead of pineapple for the icing.

Wonderful cake recipe! I didn't have the right of cool whip on hand (1/2 the amount) but the icing turned out very good, thicker though.

This recipe has been a family holiday staple for as long as I can remember. It's great after it's first made but even better after it's been in the fridge over night - - there was never any left to throw away!

I made this for my son's first birthday, and it was a hit with everyone! I used a pineapple cake mix and sprinkled coconut on the top for garnish. Be sure to drain the pineapple thoroughly and refrigerate the cake after frosting.

This is my brother and I's favorite cake! I have to make it every year for his birthday, and if he had the chance I'm sure he would eat the entire thing all by himself. It tastes even better when it has been in the fridge for a day.
