I always use 1 cup of pineapple juice instead of water. Delicious!

I use a cast iron skillet and have made this wonderful birthday cake for the last 59 years. My husband's favorite. thank you Duncan Hines.

Why does the recipe call for an 8 X 13 inch pan but cake in photo is circular ?

I make this with fresh bananas. Same method but instead of pineapple cut bananas lengthways in butter sugar base. Top with cake mix. Wonderful warm with ice cream

I made this one day. Was kind of dissapointed that it didn't rise up more. Not sure if it was something that I did wrong or not. Still it was good. :> A much faster way to make then one from scratch.

It's been 10 years, maybe you know the difference between then and than now...but then...

Know your meme: THEN is used for time: First I stole a panda bear, then we drank malt liquor together. THAN is used for comparison: I'm much better at holding my liquor than a panda bear. These are different words.
