LUSCIOUS TROPICAL DREAM CAKE

Luscious Tropical Dream Cake image

Found this in the latest Kraft Food & Family magazine. Couldn't resist it b/c of the pineapple/coconut combo! Pina Colada, here I come! I will be adding some rum flavoring to both the cake and the topping along with coconut flavoring; and will also make this in a disposable foil pan for convenience.
