Out-Of-This-World Cake

Mimi in Maine's Note:

This cake is just what the title says it is---so good. You use a cake mix so it is fairly easy to make and most of the things you might have on hand. I use whatever cake mix I have.

I love anything with pineapple in it and this cake was Out Of This World! It's refreshing and not overly sweet, which allows you to have a big piece!

You can't go wrong with this cake Mimi! The family thought it was awesome and every last drop was eaten. My DS even spooned up the crumbs and ate them! Good to the last drop I say :)
