This is quite an involved cake! I'll have to make it on a day I can devote time and a mess to! But it looks worth it! LUSCIOUS! With all that cream filling you make with pudding mix and pineapple-I didn't know you could do that! It opens up a whole world of flavor possibilities now! lol The author uses stainless steel baking pans-I'd like to win some of those!
