This is a delicious cake! I made a few changes... when the cake first comes out of the oven I poked the top with a fork an poured the canned pineapple and juice all over the cake. After letting it sit in the fridge for about an hour I spread the topping/frosting (made with 2nd can of pineapple and 1 1/2 cups of coconut over the pineapple covered cake, then sprinkled another 1/4 cup coconut on top, then sprinkled mini chocolate chips on). Husband liked it, and he didn't even seem to notice that I used sugar free pudding and light Cool Whip! :) I will be saving this recipe to make again, and again.
