The directions were a bit confusing though...pudding doesn't come in 1-ounce packages that I could find (so I used a large instant vanilla pudding mix) plus the cooking time for a yellow cake was about 35 minutes, not 15-20. I may have used the wrong cake mix as suggested (I used a regular size yellow cake mix) because of the 9x13 pan. I also mixed the crushed pineapple with the pudding and cream cheese then spread it on the finished cake. Okay, I didn't use anything remotely healthy and went with full-fat cream cheese, pudding, milk, and Cool Whip. The end result was fantastic and I will definitely make this again.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-06-19","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Lisa5358"},"reviewBody":"
This is an amazing cake recipe though I did change it up a bit. Artificial sweeteners giver me migraines so used regular instant pudding mix. Went with a full size cake mix, full fat cream cheese, TruWhip and skipped the nuts. Personally I find marichino cherries to be disgusting and using amarena cherries added a bit of decadence. Drizzled the top with the cherry sauce for a truly beautiful and delicious cake.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-05-22","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"LeslieMarie"},"reviewBody":"We use to call this Banana\u00a0Split Cake.

And the part where you are supposed to sprinkle the pineapple on, then try to spread Cool Whip over that? Really? That would just make a mess, in my opinion. None of my ingredients are fat or sugar free or low fat. I used two Jiffy cake mixes. I was out of instant pudding, so I used the Cook & Serve pudding, cooled it and mixed it in with the cream cheese. The pudding blends nicely with the cream cheese. In a bowl, I folded the Cool Whip into the drained pineapple and spread that on, then added some cherries on the top. I skipped the nuts. It looks quite pretty. Haven't tasted it yet but it should be delicious.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-05-22","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"cappifish"},"reviewBody":"I would like this better with actual cream and sugar , not the chemical substitutes!!

I think this is definitely a 5 start recipe; it's delicious, simple, and inexpensive. I too replaced some of the low\/non-fat ingredients with regular stuff. But, I do like that you added the healthier low calory options. I found an off brand 1.34 oz box sugar-free vanilla pudding at Walmart that worked out great. A couple suggestions on the directions: Step 1. Simply bake the cake following the direction on the box (I used Betty Crocker's; theirs are 13.25 oz). Step 2. when done, pour the pudding mix into a smaller bowl and do Step 3 in the same large bowl, then pour the small bowl into the large bowl; also mix in the pineapple in step 3...
