Always my grandfather's choice for his birthday cake. Very moist, easy and iced while hot, so a good cake to make when time is short. You can also place the iced cake under the broiler and lightly brown but watch carefully, it burns easily!

Tips:
- Use fresh or canned pineapple: Fresh pineapple is ideal, but canned pineapple can also be used. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Don't overbake the cake: Overbaking the cake can result in a dry cake. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
