Tips n Techniques

While the calories may seem high, remember there is no icing or frosting. Consider other cakes - the frosting will add more calories!

You can substitute other white or yellow cake recipes, using pineapple juice for the liquid called for.

For Gluten Free: Use the Gluten Free: yellow cake and put on top of margarine, sugar, and pineapples.
