This is a very old recipe that my grandmother used to make around the holidays. The original recipe called a 9 x 13 pan. And the recipe called for "dream whip" which is what we had before cool whip was ever thought of. I still make it with dream whip on occassion as many have forgot what it tastes like. We topped the dessert with coconut and put 12 stemmed cherries on top.

I made this for my January Bunco group and they absolutely loved it. It was a little difficult to make, but the presentation was great. I put it on my pedestal cake plate and it looked like a great big snowball. It was very light and refreshing. I did add the vanilla pudding but I don't think it was worth it and I found I needed 2 angel food cakes. I also added 1 t. coconut extract to the pineapple filling and it was very good! Definately a keeper!

This was a really great dessert. The second time I made it using a vanilla custard layer in addition to the other layers.

I made this cake last night for my mother's 75th birthday today. Not only was it the easiest cake I've ever "made", it was beautiful and delicious. This cake was so well liked by all, that it has now been designated as "the cake" to bring to all future family gatherings.
