RECIPE BACKSTORY
I adapted this recipe from a Southern Living Cookbook. It is so yummy! Note: I made some changes on the original recipe. I used a Pineapple cake mix instead of a plain Yellow cake mix but you can use your favorite kind. I used milk instead of water. Increased the vanilla extract by 1 tsp & reduced the cinnamon to only 1 ½ Tbps. The results were great & my family loved it.
