Yummy cake! Halved the recipe and used 3/4 cup sugar (half brown, half white) and this was still plenty sweet. Very quick to put together and also tasted great warm. Thank you for sharing!

Good quick cake recipe. Nothing fantastic, just a good dessert. I made according to recipe. Served with cool whip. It would be good frosted as stated.

This has been my stand-by cake for years. I use 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar which works better for me. Also, I use the same base recipe, minus the pineapple and add 3/4 to 1 cup low-fat buttermilk and 3 or 4 mashed bananas. You'll never make another banana cake recipe again. Yummy !!!!

Wowie! This cake literally takes 2 minutes to put together... I had time to prepare the cake AND do the dishes before the oven was preheated!!! My can of pineapple was 19oz, but it worked out fine. I significantly reduced the sugar: used only 1/2 cup of white sugar and 1/4 cup (scant) of brown sugar - you do taste the eggs quite a bit though. With the absence of fat and the reduced sugar, this cake is quite healthy. I omitted the walnuts because I was all out... Will try with whole wheat flour next time. I only had to bake it 30 minutes, at which point it was perfectly golden all around. I'm stacking up on crushed pineapple for emergency comfort-food cravings! Thanks Chef :)

Oh my goodness...this cake is delicious! I believe it is my new favorite! Can't wait to take it to the next potluck. My daughter said the cream cheese frosting makes it even better, so I guess I can't make it without that. Thanks for a great recipe.
