"I've made this recipe several times and it gets better each time I make it. Bananas, cinnamon, rum and vanilla ice cream — how could it be anything but GOOD!"
-Chef Howe
"This cake is worth the effort with really tender, flavorful layers. But if you want enough frosting to completely cover the entire cake, definitely double (or even triple) the frosting amounts to be safe."
-Amanda Gryphon

Southern pineapple cake meets festive, pina colada pineapple-shapes cakes! Super fun for a crowd.
"This is easy to make, and the frosting really accentuates the cake. You must add the pecans in the frosting to give it that Southern taste! My family really enjoyed this."

"This is an excellent Key lime pie. The sour cream topping is so much better than meringue or whipped cream. I made a gingersnap crust instead of graham cracker, which was very good."
-Northwest Suechef
"I loved this light and fresh dessert! It was so quick and easy. I'll definitely make it again!"
-PanNan

"I've been making this lemon bar recipe for many years and I always get high compliments on the texture, flavor and appearance! Don't eliminate the lemon zest from these — it totally makes the bars POP!"
-mom2threekiddos
"This is a delicious cake! I made it in a 9-by-13-inch pan and just baked it a little longer. We didn't even frost it because it was so moist, but a cream cheese frosting would be really good with this."
