With any cake mix, I use not only an extra egg, but a package of instant pudding. This adds flavor and moisture. As I like to go “fresh” as much as possible I use fresh pineapple. This turned out super.
THIS IS A GOOD, QUICK CAKE. I USED THE EXTRA EGG AND I THINK IT HELPED KEEP THE CAKE FROM CRUMBLING MUCH. I ONLY SPRINKLED TOASTED PECANS ON TOP OF FROSTING. I ONLY NEEDED 3 CUPS SUGAR FOR THE FROSTING. I ALSO BAKED IT IN A 13X9 GLASS BAKING DISH. USED BUTTER INSTEAD OF MARGARINE. I WILL MAKE THIS AGAIN.
This cake is the perfect dessert for company. After reading all the reviews and seeing the complaints about the 3 layers being too thin, this is what I did. Using the regular box cake, I also added a small box (Jiffy – 1 layer cake mix) to the batter. Of course, had to add more of the other ingredients. 3/4 cup butter, 5 eggs, 1 1/2 cans crushed pineapple and 3/4 cup pecans. ( toasted the pecans first for a really good flavor). I DID NOT increase the frosting and seemed to have just the right amount. Then baked in 3 pans. The cake was beautiful, nice high layers and presented well.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup margarine, softened
3 eggs.

Trying to reduce our exploding pantry here in Naples, I wanted to make this cake bad. Only trouble was, I had the cake mix, but I had just two (8 oz.) cans of crushed pineapple, not the 20 ounces required. Throwing caution to the wind, I made a number of modifications and accommodations to get this done. So if you find yourself in the same boat I was, here’s what I did. And it worked. Because the cake turned out surprisingly good. Fluffy, pretty, moist – and it tasted pineapple-y good too. I guess that made it a cake mix/pantry raid winner. I used melted butter, not softened margarine. In order to make up for the 4 ounces of pineapple with juice that I was short I just sort of guessed at this – I added an extra egg and 1/3 cup milk. I followed the mixing directions on the back of the (French Vanilla) cake mix box. Baked it in a greased and floured 13×9″ pan for 35 minutes.
This is an A+++ recipe. I bake cakes to take in to my volunteer job and made this one for today. I did some slight variations due to the fact that I have to double a recipe to take care of the numbers of servings I need to pass out to the soldiers and medical staff. I used two cake mixes and instead of 2 cans of pineapple, I used one 20 oz can and a 15 oz can of mandarin oranges in the cake . I made Cream Cheese Buttercream icing, adding fresh grated orange peel, 1 tsp of orange extract & 4 T fresh orange juice to the powdered sugar. After spreading the icing, I topped with coconut for a real Tropical theme cake. I omitted the pecans to avoid any possible nut allergies. This cake got RAVE reviews from the soldiers and staff at our military hospital.
I used a yellow “pineapple” DH cake mix and subbed applesauce for the margerine, and used 3 eggs. Baked in a 9 x 13 pan to take to a reunion. No icing for us, we made it into a strawberry jello POKE CAKE. WOW, it was a super hit. One of the best and easiest cakes I’ve ever made.
