Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix

1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 (16 ounce) box powdered sugar
1 cup sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (14 ounce) can crushed pineapple in syrup

Steps:

In a 9x13 pan prepare yellow cake according to package directions.
While the cake is cooking, put the can of pineapple (including syrup) in a small sauce pan.
Add 1 cup sugar to the pineapple and cook over medium heat being careful not to brown the pineapple.
In another small saucepan heat the cream cheese and 1/2 box of powdered sugar.
When melted and heated it should resemble an icing.
More powdered sugar may be added to achieve the desired look.

Let it absorb into the cake.
Drizzle the icing mix over the cake.
