2/3 c golden raisins
1 c solopo=ineapple cake & pastry filling

  • 3. Prepare two 8 inch cake pans with Bakers Joy cooking spray, or non stick cooking spray. Pour in cake batter.

  • 5. Remove and place on wire rack until cool about 10 minutes. Then invert cake onto cake platter, and frost as desired.
  • 6. I chose to frost top of cake, then top the frosting with the pineapple fillling.
  • 7. Repeat with second layer if desired, then frost sides, and add candy sprinkles if desired. Quick easy and simple and taste somewhat homemade.
