(Check by sticking toothpicks into the cake…when it comes out dry then it is done. It is better to leave it in longer than to under cook it.)It will take about 5 minutes more than the cake mix instructions recommend.Put aluminum foil on the table in two long sheets.When cake is done, dump the cake on it quickly, so the pineapples are facing up.Take any extra pineapples off the pan while it is still hot and place them on the cake.Allow to cool a little and enjoy.
