Top Me-Twice Cake
"Used to make this when I had people over and it was always a big hit. This recipe is very old and comes from my very first cook book (Pillsbury) which was a gift from my grandmother. Best served the day it is made."

In the cake I used only 1/2 cup sugar. For the topping I used only 1/4 cup of walnuts. For the sauce, I used maybe just 1/4 cup butter. It was perfect. This cake is so good. And very easy to do. Thanks Deb :) Made for PRMR tag game -
This is a wonderful cake! Easy to make, rich, moist and delicious. I made half of the recipe with good results. Loved this - thanks for posting the recipe! -
This cake was delicious!! The topping was great. It tasted like the candied nuts that you can buy from vendors. Very moist and a little bit chewy but definitely worth making again. Thanks for a great and easy recipe! Made for the PRMR Tag Game. -
Made this as a treat for the guys at DH's work. The pan came home with finger lines and no crumbs! I'd say it was a great hit lol I thought it was very interesting to add pineapple to the batter and the topping before cooking, but turned out great! -
Made this for an unexpected potluck to which we were invited & it was a big hit! I did use macadamia nuts along with a dark brown sugar, which I thought was great with the pineapple & coconut flavors! Thanks for the great cake recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]
