A twist on the traditional pineapple upside down cake dessert

• Author: Lisa Jorgensen

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 4 cups of vanilla pudding (instant is fine)

1. Drain the juice from the can of pineapple into a cup. Cut your cake into cubes, whip your cream, and make your pudding. Add about 3 tbsp. of pineapple juice from the can to the pudding for added flavor. Then start layering in a medium size bowl or trifle dish.
