Notes
- Want to make a boozy version of this cake? Reduce the amount of milk down to 1-1/2 cups with 1/2 cup rum and mix it into the pudding mix. Pour the pudding mixture over the cake, trying to fill the holes. Remember, this version is for people over 21 yrs old only.
- If you're having a hard time finding the pineapple cake mix, substitute a yellow cake mix. Use pineapple juice in place of the water called for on the box.
