Unbelievably, this cake has no butter or oil, yet is still moist and delicious! The frosting does have a bit of butter, but not too much. At only 5 points +, you can enjoy this cake guilt-free!

This sounds great! Can you use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
ReplyDeleteCherise,
DeleteThe recipe used the canned crushed pineapple with the juice. Since there is no butter or oil, the juice gives the moisture to the cake. I am not sure how well it would work with fresh pineapple.
You're right :) Thanks!
