Pineapple Explosion

Teresa Ambra
Pineapple Explosion is a spectacular dessert that your family will love. This cake has quadruple the pineapple flavor since it uses a pineapple cake mix and pineapple pie filling in the cake batter. It also uses pineapple tidbits and pineapple extract in the cream cheese icing, making this a dessert to drool over with every bite. If you enjoy pineapple, this lovely cake is perfect for holidays and company since it serves a crowd.
