I love messy cakes. I love how beautiful they look with their carefree presentation.

My mother made this cake and it was divine + easy. Two words that when used together means every person should have this written down or saved.

It takes 15 minutes to assemble and 1 hour of chill time.

Also – I love pineapple. It reminds me of weddings. I think that’s because my parents had a pineapple cream layered cake as their wedding cake. We’ve ordered that for many of their Anniversaries (over 50 years and going).

Also at bridal showers we serve a punch that uses pineapple as the base and it’s really good.

This particular cake was served at our Easter gathering. It was light, airy, and full of pineapple flavor.

Next time you need a cake and you don’t have time to bake this recipe is for you at that very moment.
