This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the pineapple topping was delicious. I would recommend using a lighter cake mix or adding some extra baking powder to the batter.

I had some trouble getting the cake out of the skillet in one piece, but it still tasted delicious. I would recommend using a non-stick skillet or greasing it very well.
