This is great! I also make this with Orange cake mix and 1 can of peach pie filling. I also add an 8 oz. package of cream cheese to the topping. It is really great!

This cake is wonderful! It's light and not too sweet. It's perfect for a light dessert after a summer cookout. I bake for a living and I didn't change a thing!!

I guess we all have our name for this cake. I also from TN call it a Sunshine Cake. One thing my husbands's aunt told me; use a wooden spoon to mix the whip cream w/pineapple. Something about the wooden spoon keeps it stiffer and easier to spread. Using a mixer will make it runnier.

This cake was excellent. I love that the frosting was not too sweet and the pineapples gave it a great flavor.

Made it for a summer lunch by the pool and EVERYONE loved it...even the kids! I didnt change a thing except I baked it in a 13 X 9 inch glass dish instead of doing layers. Very easy and definately a crowd pleaser!! Will make it again!

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!

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'!!!
