I need help making a good Pineapple Cake!

Question

No, I don't want to make a Pineapple upside down cake, I want to make a nice soft yellow cake with pineapple glaze and little bits of the fruit on top. So...How can I make it soft and moist and how do I make the glaze for the cake? Also, should I put pineapple pieces in the cake while baking? Thanks to all in advance!

Answer 1

I love this recipe...just add a bit of the crushed pineapple to the icing mixture.  Yum!
