Easy AND Yummy
Talk about quick, easy and tasty! I didn't read the recipe close enough before shopping so I ended up with a 20 oz can of crushed pineapple. I also toasted the coconut and mixed it in with the pineapple and cake mix, forgetting about the whipped topping all together. Even my husband, who eats nothing considered healthy, loves it. Try it, you'll like it.

Wow
OMG is all I can say, this was the most amazing cake ever, low in fat and calories. I find it's like chips, you can't have just one. Mmm, I shared it with all my friends and I'm going to make it for my dad, if it makes it to his house, maybe I'll make two, one for me and one for him.

This cake is very easy to make with delicious results. The cake is light and refreshing. I modified the recipe a tad by using a 20 oz can of crushed pineapple, as well as by putting some coconut in the cake batter. I will continue to make this cake for special events or just to have in the fridge for the perfect dessert any night of the week.

My husband and I are diabetic. Be sure and use pineapple in own juice and sugar free cocoanut can be obtained at health food stores and Whole Foods to cut down on the sugar. Great easy cake!

I made this for a celebration at work and it was a hit! It was so easy to make I thought I had missed some steps! Will make it again without hesitation!

very tasty!!
this cake was really good, the only part that confused me was whether I should make the cake as directed on the box (it had the egg white pkt and the cake mix) so I did that and added the pineapple. It was a big hit! Very easy, light and tasty treat for a hot summer night!!

Best ever!
This is the easiest, fastest, yummiest dessert I've made. It took me literally a couple seconds to stir it up, then bake, and top it and you're done! We ate half of it already in one night. Very light and refreshing tasting.

Pina Colada Cake
This cake is SO good and so easy! I used a 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple and eliminated the coconut due to my husband's diet. I've made it countless times and shared the recipe with everyone I know. I have to convince them I didn't leave out any ingredients! If you have 5 minutes, you can make a great dessert tonight!

Yummy
This cake was great, and so easy! I did add more pineapple but that was all. I took it to a potluck and it was very popular! Highly recommend giving it a try.
