PINEAPPLE SUNSHINE CAKE
I got this recipe from one of the lovely ladies I used to work with when we were living in Kansas. Let me tell ya, my midwestern friends are some UH-mazing cooks!
I always say that southern food is my comfort food, but ya know what? Kansas girls… now they know how to make some good food!
I love to make this Sunshine Cake for Easter or summer barbecues and it NEVER lasts for long. When I made it earlier this week, my son snuck a piece from the corner before I was able to photograph it.
