Tropical Torte With Fresh Pineapple

[cookingwithlove]

So I am planning to make this tomorrow at my open house. I really want to show the new products and get everyone excited. The recipes calls for a 16 oz frozen pound cake. I live on the West Coast and we only have Sara Lee frozen pound cakes which only come in 10.75 oz. I was thinking I would use two has anybody tried to make this yet? How did you do it? Where can I find 16 oz pound cakes?

You can do it either way. Just use one and make a smaller one - use the left over ingredients as a mousse or something. Or make two and put a little extra cool whip in with the filling mix to stretch it.

The 4th store was the charm. I did find the "family" sized Sara Lee. It was at Safeway. Now that I know where to find it, I could always get it for the hosts if I need to.

I found mine at Wal-Mart.

I made that recipe and used a fresh pound cake from the store and it was really delicious
