This is a YUMMY light cake for summer also suitable to serve at a baby or wedding shower. When making the frosting, I first mixed together the pudding mix and undrained pineapple, then folded in the whipped topping without over mixing. Next time I may add a little orange zest.

I lost my original recipe for this cake and this is the closest I found to the first version. The only difference being was the icing. In the original version it was made with cool whip and a container of premade vanilla frosting with the pineapple. I think either way is delicious. Try it, your family will love it.

I am giving this a 5 simply because the recipe works exactly as written. It is so easy that my 13 yr old baked it without any help. My problem with it was that it was just "missing" something, I would liked it to be a bit more fruity tasting considering the ingredients and considering that it had 4 eggs and 1/2 cup oil it really didn't taste that rich. A good recipe for someone who wants to get away from the usual chocolate cake. We will definitely use the pineapple frosting again but will pair it with a richer carrot cake rather than the yellow cake in this recipe. We do have a sweet tooth in our family so that might be the problem as this cake is quite mild - not too sweet.

This cake tasted wonderful. However, the presentation left a lot to be desired. The frosting was runny & puddled at the bottom of the cake.

This cake was so incredibly moist. The couple pieces that were left sat in the refridgerator covered only with a piece of wax paper and two days later it was *still* moist. If your cake turns out dry, you did something wrong.

the recipe is incredibly easy, but the cake overall is not presentable. Why is there so much frosting? Are 16 ounces really necessary? It looks messy and sloppy.

I did an ingrediant search and found this cake. The frosting didn't get made (lacked the CoolWhip), but I had leftover pineapple from a baked ham. I added some of the pineapple to the cake mix (about 1/4 cup). This is sooo yummy!!! Husband loved it, coworkers raved. Must make this again. With the frosting I bet it is suberb.

I used the orange supreme cake mix, which was a big mistake. I think with regular yellow cake mix it would probably be good, but as I made it, it had a terrible flavor. The texture was okay and the icing was pretty good. I did make it as a trifle and it looked great.

I loved this cake and it got rave reviews from everyone I served it too. I added the zest of one orange and a dash of orange flavored liqueur to the batter. It was moist, light and delicious. The topping is scrumptious. I will definitely bake this one again. Thanks for sharing.
