Personal Notes:
Francie cut the cake into square pieces and topped each with a slice of canned pineapple and whipped cream (the real stuff), topped off with a maraschino cherry. WOW! that always seemed special.

Gene even liked this dessert so much that on one occasion when grocery shopping with Gloria, he secretly switched her chocolate cake mix for a gingerbread mix and also added a can of pineapple to her cart without her seeing it until they got to the checkout..
