AWESOME CAKEAugust 08, 2009By KCDelectableTreats
"I had a friend ask me if I ever made a pineapple cake with icing and I told her no but I am sure I could. I found this and it was a HUGH SUCCESS!!!! This is my most requested cake, it even beats out the chocolate cakes. AWESOME. You will not be disappointed. I have added toasted coconut in the icing and that just adds to the already wonderful flavor. I love the idea of adding strawberries, I will have to try that next time."
