Well, it wasn't until I'd already mixed together ALL of the mix-ins that I realized I was supposed to use only three... I used pecans, *un*sweetened coconut, raisins, dark chocolate mini chips and butterscotch (since that was what I had on hand), and in a separate container, the pineapple. I could either use one and half cups of the mixture and leave out the pineapple, or I could improvise... I quickly changed the cake to my old stand by - 1 box mix (I had and used the carrot), 1 small box of instant pudding (I had cheesecake, but vanilla or butterscotch would have worked well too I'm sure), 4 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, 1 cup water; I added in ALL the mix-ins and the pineapple, poured it into an 11"x15" pan, and cooked it about 35 minutes. Delicious! Only thing I would have changed is to not use dark chocolate chips - I think white chocolate and butterscotch would have been better.
