Notes

This recipe calls for pineapple flavored cake mix. Both Duncan Hines and Pillsbury have pineapple cake mix. Where I live, only Walmart had this flavor of cake mix. Target did not.

If you can’t find the flavor at a store near you, you can easily substitute white cake mix, yellow cake mix or vanilla cake mix. Given how much crushed pineapple you’re using, plus the juice from the can, you’ll get enough pineapple flavor throughout the cake regardless of the cake mix flavor you use.
