There is a problem with the frosting recipe. Ingredients call for crushed pineapple but it is omitted from the directions. I am guessing the crushed pineapple should be spread on the layers as a filling before covering with the cream cheese frosting.


I think you may be right about putting the pineapple inbetween the layers. I have never made this recipe yet - it was one of those that I found in the newspaper that I wanted to keep. I am unsure of where I picked up this recipe so I can't double check it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
