Tips:

  • Use a non-stick 13x9 inch baking pan to ensure the cake comes out cleanly.
  • Make sure to use crushed pineapple that has been drained well. Excess moisture can make the cake soggy.
  • If you don't have a box of instant vanilla pudding mix, you can make your own by combining 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 cups milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • For a richer cake, use butter instead of margarine.
  • You can add 1/2 cup chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the cake batter for additional flavor and texture.
  • Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
