D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S! This is soooo good! I couldn't find coconut pudding (the asian ones look more like gelatin than pudding to me), so I used vanilla pudding and 4 tsp of coconut extract. I also put in an extra tbsp of dark rum and coconut rum in the frosting. Super yummy. I've made this twice and both times have had rave remarks from my guests. Definitely a rum taste, but not too overpowering. Tastes just like it's namesake- a Pina Colada!

Just perfect!! I have also used the frosting part of the recipe (minus the rum) on a two layer pineapple upside-down cake--just a little frosting in the middle and the rest around the sides. It was gone in minutes.

THIS WAS A BIG HIT!!! I baked this cake for a surprise party I was throwing for a friend and everyone loved it. It was gone in minutes. I made it in a regular cake pan and made two recipes to make it a double layer. For the middle I put pineapple preserves and on top of that a layer of the frosting. Frosting was made with heavy cream and omitted the instant coconut cream pudding. Added more rum to taste and this was delicious.

I made this cake for my birthday party today and the entire thing was gone in a few minutes! So good! I used pineapple cake mix and 2 tablespoons of rum in the frosting. Very very good!

Great cake. My variations were for 3 layers, baking for about 18 minutes and adding a full 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple drained of about have the juice. I wanted a lot of frosting with a pronounced pineapple taste.... YUMMY!!

All seemed to enjoy this cake. Nice rum flavor. I could not find instant coconut pudding and had to use vanilla pudding. Perhaps I should have used a bit of coconut extract and it would have more of a coconut flavor. The cake was moist which surprised me since the batter was very thick prior to baking. I will make again.

I altered this recipe a little... using Pineapple Rum instead, and leaving out the coconut. Great! Also, instead of mixing rum into the icing, I put some in a spray bottle and sprayed it on the cake after I frosted it. Gave it an all-over pineappley taste. will make again!

I took a summer course based on coffee and sugar (and other commodities).. and since my commodity was rum, I decided to bake this cake in the form of cupcakes. They were a massive hit!

This is the most requested cake I've ever made. I add a splash more rum to the cake batter and a little bit more to the frosting. After frosting, I sprinkle more coconut flakes over the top and sides. This cake bakes up really moist you may think it's not done. Don't over bake or it'll have a chewy texture. It smells just like a Pina Colada. Nice and fruity. My co-workers have been begging me to make this cake for a few months now. I have never gotten so many compliments on a cake as this one. Great for a holiday office party.

This cake is so freaking good. I made it for a Jamaica themed party I had and everyone couldn't stop talking about it, they love it so much that everytime there is a birthday or party I am asked to make it. My dad requests it every year for his birthday which is in December....

My husband loved this cake. I used light rum instead of dark because that is what I had on hand; probably would have been better with the dark, but still delicious! Thanks for the recipe Roger!

I hate to give a bad review, but this cake was SUCH a disappointment. It had an overly sweet and unnatural flavor--and smell. I made this cake for my husband's family, and was really embarrassed when we all took our first bite. I had been hoping that the cake would taste better than it smelled, but it was worse. Thankfully, the frosting (whipped cream, cream of coconut pudding, flaked coconut, and crushed pineapple) was delicious, so we scrapped it off of the cake and ate that by itself. Like I said, I hate giving bad reviews, so I apologize, but I regret wasting my time making and serving this cake so I felt it was important to share my feelings on it.

Good cake, filling and frosting are not too sweet and tastes just right. Easy to make also. Good cake for a Luau.

I really enjoyed this recipe. I made it for my sister's birthday and everyone loved it. The cake isn't as strong as other rum cakes I've made but one could add more rum if one desired to do so.
