This cake was very good, and made even more delicious when I used the Cool Whip topping from the Mandarin Orange cake recipe from the site instead of the butter glaze. It added the extra pineapple flavor that some have said was missing. It is insanely easy to prepare, and comes out very moist. My SIL said it was her new favorite cake! I got rave reviews.

This is a tasty cake. It's a little denser than I expected, and the syrup/glaze is very buttery, but all in all I would make this again.

I liked this fat-free version very much. I added 1.25 cups of sugar, and it was too sweet to my taste if you also use a glaze or icing. I will definitely repeat this again, but using 1 cup of sugar. You can always add more sweetness to the cake using icing if you are not satisfied. But the cake is moist and tasty itself. And I added 1 tsp of fresh lemon zest, people liked it.

This cake was super easy to make and very quick which was a plus. I agree that this recipe needs a flavor boost. My favorite part was the icing. I don't think it was too sweet at all and only added to the moistness of the cake. I only had pineapple chunks so I threw them into the food processor and I was short on vanilla so I added a tad of almond extract to the icing. It was great. I think I might try this recipe with peaches and some allspice next time.

Next time I'll make and use about half of the butter sauce since it drowned out the pineapple flavor and made the cake WAY too rich and fattening.

This cake was really great, and the glaze is by far the BEST part! I had to make it twice in one day because everyone kept picking at it. The second time, I added some pineapple extract and lemon zest, as the cake did need a little flavor boost. Still moist and yummy though. Make sure to use evaporated milk and cook the glaze the full 5 minutes. It's buttery-salty-sweet, which I just love! One guest didn't like the glaze, said it was too buttery. She suggested making a glaze of confectioner's sugar and pineapple juice for a fresher, lighter taste.

I was very skeptical at first. But, the cake turned out really good. I only had pineapple slices in a can so I had to chop it. And, I only made half of the butter-sugar-milk recipe. The cake is very sweet (maybe, too sweet). I will definitely keep this recipe. It's the best pineapple cake I've had.

This was a big disappointment after having read all the great reviews. This cakes tasted like a cobbler-without the juices the cobbler naturally has. It was very sweet with just a little pineapple taste and the butter sauce was WAY too buttery. The next day, even though the pineapple had settled more into the cake, the butter sauce had hardened on top and it was just a greasy mess. I was completely unhappy with this recipe and threw it out.

This smelled GREAT in the oven, and I really wanted to like it. I agree with another reviewer, though: it lacked the pineapple flavor I expected from a pineapple cake. It just tastes sweet. It wasn't bad, but I will not be making it again.

This was good. I had 2 14oz cans of pineapple chunks so I increased the flour and sugar by 1/2 cup and added another tsp of baking soda. Baked 3/4 of this in a pan and the rest in muffin tins. The muffins burned but I baked the actual cake for 35min and it was perfect! Glazed it afterwards with the given recipe and substituted milk for the evaporated milk. I may make this again.

YUM. I used two egg whites instead of each egg. I didn't have 20 oz of pineapple; i only had 8. So I used shreadded carrots and coconut for the remaining 12 ounces, and tripled the soda and added two more egg whites to account for the extra weight. Halved the sugar in the cake, and the butter on the icing. Walnuts. Cinnamon. I like this recipe - it puts the fat right where you can taste it, and doesnt waste it in the cake. YUM, again. My husband will be drooling when he tastes this one :)

Husbadn loved it but I did not. Although a nice dense cake it certainly did not have much of a pineapple flavor which is what PINEAPPLE cake should have. Also did not care for glaze the next day. Overall not bad but not sweet enough.
