I have feen asked to do a pineapple cake for a friend's mother for mother's day. She wants the cake done up "fancy" (purse or something similar). I like to use a enhanced cake mix. Thanks for your response

I would just say take a white or yellow cake and swap out all the water for pineapple juice and add a can of crushed pineapple to it as well!


If you wanted an even stronger pineapple flavor, you could add a box of pineapple jello to the batter as well

Oh cool!!! I wondered about that! Thanks so much!

what about an icing that goes well? Cream cheese or reg BC

Kahalstead just wanted to thank you for your help. And let you know what I ended up doing. I couldn't find the pineapple jello but I did find a DH pineapple supreme cake mix. I used pineapple juice for the water and added the crushed pineapple into the recipe and added vanilla flavoring to it. It smelled heavenly and made a super moist cake. Which is normally pretty good but not for a purse cake Oh well the good thing about cakes is they taste good even when they fall Have a great weekend!
