I usually bake cakes from scratch only, but this recipe sounded good because I love pineapple and bananas. This cake was very easy to make and tasted good and was more delicious 2 days later. I think I will try it again using a scratch cake and drain the pineapple somewhat so the cake will be less soggy. All the people who tried it loved it, even my husband who insists I bake from scratch.

I made this about a month ago and forgot to review it! I was looking it up again for a friend and noticed. This cake is fabulous, even without bananas. My bananas were too ripe to slice so I left them out. I also left off the coconut since I made it for picky folks who did not like it. It's worth the tiny extra bit of effort involved for sure. Thanks for posting!

My step mom has been making this cake for my dad's birthday for years and years. Now that she's passed, I wanted his birthday to still be just as special so I found the recipe here and I hope it tastes half as good as hers always did. I guess dad will tell me. It has all the same ingredients as hers so fingers crossed! I know for a fact that I'll love it!

I haven''t tasted it yet because I''m just trying it for the first time for a family member''s birthday party. I am boiling the pineapple and sugar at the moment and tomorrow, I will put the pudding/cream cheese mixture on it and add the bananas and whipped topping and coconut and cherries. It sounds just marvelous! I intend to put a red transparent g-string on the finished product as it seems quite appropriate! I''m sure it''s going to taste fabulous so I will give it the highest rating! Mahalo for the great recipe and looking forward to more... Aloha, Ijeva -----I finally baked the cake and changed it to chocolate instead of yellow cake mix. It is absolutely delicious. I would however, not put 2 cups of sugar because it is awfully sweet but might reduce the quantity or even substitute with some kahlua and milk instead. Other than that, my son devoured the rest of the cake. Superb!
