This cake was MY birthday cake for many years & was made by my best friend, and later sister-in-law, Becki.
Oh, the barbecues & lasagna dinners that were topped off by this delicious dessert! Talk about happy memories, even if the event meant I was getting older. =^..^=Directions
Mix the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs together, as directed on the cake mix box. Bake the cake in a 13 x 9" baking dish, using the temperature & time suggested on the cake mix box. Remove from oven and cool.
Drain the pineapple well. (I actually squish it with a wooden spoon, just a little, so the cake won't get soggy.)
Spread drained pinepple over the cooled cake.
In a blender (or using a bowl & mixer), mix together the cream cheese, pudding mix, and milk until well-blended. Pour over the pineapple on the cake...
...and smooth the pudding evenly over the cake.
Refrigerate at least 30 minutes until the pudding is set. Then frost with Cool Whip.
Refrigerate again until ready to serve. (If there are any leftovers, refrigerate them, too.)
I wish this photo showed the whole slice of cake. Silly JAP editing! =^..^=

I have been making this same cake for years but it was always called Daffodil Cake. I got the recipe from my sister-in-law. It was always so good, but because pineapple was not a favorite in my home I substituted canned peaches sliced which I chopped up in small chunks and I have since had everyone request it with the peaches instead. A friend of my used fresh sliced strawberries for the fruit in hers and it also was a big hit. Peaches are still our favorite. Great recipe!

Oh, Gail, I love the idea of mixing up the fruit. I'd never even considered it, but of course, this cake was usually made for me as a birthday cake so I wasn't complaining! I like the name "Daffodil Cake." I hope you don't mind that I add that name to the title, just in case someone else is looking for the recipe. Thanks for posting! =^..^=
