Pig Pickin' Cake

It has been awhile since I baked. The last cake I baked was horrible so I was nervous while making this one. The reason I baked this cake was my craving for more pineapple. With 7 ingredients and little to no prep or cook time I was pleasantly surprised at how this cake turned out. Moist with the right amount of flavor.
