Great flavor. A bit thin though since the batter is being divided into two cake pans, but still very good.

I liked the idea of the cake but as a baker I prefer to make the cake myself and not buy a box mix...

Beginner baker - I made this recipe and it was OK. I think I may have pulled it out the oven too early b/c my cake seemed a little too moist. But, I will try the recipe again in the future and I think I will use the sour cream and pineapple instead of water tips.

Delicious and moist. EVERYONE LOVED IT!!!!!!!I substituted crushed and pineapple chunks instead of sliced. Used 1/2 sour cream and 1/2 whipped topping. And added pineapple juice in cake mix instead of water. I look forward to making this again.

I made this recipe for a Luau and everyone loved it. In fact the next day people were calling me to ask if I had any leftovers. Will definitely make this again.
