Tropical Cake

Yesterday I made this: http://www.duncanhines.com/recipes/cakes/leahny/tropical-cake
and I didn't like it. I think maybe with a plain yellow cake. The topping was very good, cake was almost "perfume-like" with pineapple smell. I also thought the box was deceiving as I thought it was a complete pineapple upside down cake in a box...(yeah I know for $1!? I was stupid) Learn from my ways!
