Expert Tips

The slices of this cake are quite thick. If you cut the slices in half, you still get a lot of taste--just in a smaller portion.

This batter also bakes up nicely in layers. Bake two 9-inch layers 32 to 37 minutes, then frost as desired.

For a different look, we cut the loaves into wedge shapes.

I have baked a very similar loaf, but with a more Hawaiian twist - I used dried pineapple pieces cut into small chunks instead of the canned and macadamia nuts, also cut into pieces. It is a to-die-for loaf. Can also be used with a butter pound cake recipe.

I made this cake for a luau party for my daughter, EVERYONE loved it and I have been asked for it again. The only thing I altered was the powdered sugar and pineapple juice... I used all the juice and adjusted the powdered sugar acordingly. We did not refergerate it we just served it at room temperature!!! It was summer time and so yummy!!!
