"The Pineapple Cake Mother Used to Make"

My mother came up with this cake several years before she died. I wish I had her talent for baking cakes & pies & all kinds of goodies without looking at a recipe even once. She'd just throw things together & come up with some of the best stuff you've ever eaten in your life. Unfortunately, I developed other talents such as posting recipes that nobody will ever use on the internet.

My sister & I call this "The Pineapple Cake Mother Used to Make." It is wonderful, I promise.

Ingredients:

Cake

1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick margarine (not butter), softened
1 14 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained, 1/2 cup juice reserved
4 whole eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 can Eagle Brand (Warning: The Eagle Brand is used AFTER the cake is baked)

Topping

1 pkg. (4 oz. size) vanilla instant pudding
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained, juice reserved
1/2 C. powdered sugar
4 oz. Cool Whip

Preheat oven to 350 deg.

For the cake, combine cake mix, margarine, the eggs, 1/2 C. juice from the drained crushed pineapple, and the vanilla extract. Beat on med-high. until well blended. Stir in well drained crushed pineapple. Pour batter into greased & floured 9 X 13 pan & bake for 25 to 30 min. until golden brown and set. While the cake is warm (hot is okay), use the end of a mixing spoon to punch holes in the cake about 1-1/2 inches apart (not an exact science here, just punch away). Slowly pour the can of Eagle Brand into the holes. Cover and cool completely in the refrigerator.

Now for the topping. Once the cake is cool, mix the juice from the 20 oz. can pineapple with the vanilla pudding mix. Add powdered sugar & mix until thick. Then stir in the Cool Whip. Then stir in the drained pineapple. Spread on cooled cake. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours before serving. Even better the next day.
