walnuts

spice cake mix (regular size)

unsalted butter, melted

Whipped cream, optional

Ok. I have yet to make it, but I like that you posted this recipe and love the reviews - successes and not so successful to let us know to keep the moisture in - do not drain...etc.. I am thinking of adding apple pie filling, too. I will keep you all posted. I saw a carrot cake recipe with apples.. ;)

It’s hard to believe this recipe was kitchen tested.  The “CAKE” is more like a crumble topping.  Most dump cakes call for more wet ingredients.....I wish I’d had checked that out before wasting my time and $$$.

Made this on a rainy afternoon.  Super easy and tasted just like carrot cake.  As a couple other reviewers mentioned, don&#039;t drain the pineapple (the cake needs the moisture).  It definitely made the house smell terrific (as another reviewer mentioned) and everyone was happy to have a little afternoon snack.

Very underrated. Very bland. If you want carrot cake make it. This is not carrotcake.

Made this cake and was very disappointed.   It was very dry and didn't have much taste.This is the first time I've used one of your recipes and had bad luck!   I used to take your magazine several years ago and had used your recipes and found them very tasty.I did read the comments, but followed the recipe as provided.  I'm not sure I would want to try it againas I was so disappointed.

I could not believe something that was this easy to make could taste this delicious. I followed the other suggestions and used a 20 oz. can of pineapple, undrained. It was so moist and yummy. I did have to bake mine about 10 minutes longer. Served with cool whip. Everyone raved. Didn't last long. Am making another one for a friend who just had surgery. Thank you for an easy and great tasting recipe.

I had the chance to make this cake today!  I used the recipe as  it  was presented.  I left the pineapple undrained.  Thank you, Bonnie, for sharing this simple and delicious recipe!

Delicious and so quick and easy.  I used a whole large can of crushed pineapple and was glad I did as I thought it needed the extra moisture.  I will definitely be making it again and the only change I will make is to cook the shredded carrots in the microwave first as they were still a little crunchy when everything else was done.  Didn't make it any less delicious, just a texture issue for us.  I served it topped with vanilla bean ice cream to company and we all enjoyed it immensely.

Made this the other night and it was great! Added more pineapple than the recipe called for just because I was using up some leftover crushed pineapple. Super simple and delicious and smelled heavenly. Will make again.
