NOTE: One of the cake mix companies makes a "pineapple supreme" mix. And do
use the juice the pineapple slices are packed in as part of the liquid. And
if you're in a hurry, ignore the people who will tell you never to use a
mix. It may not be
the best but it will be the quickest and sometimes that's more important!
