                                                  ( Tips & Warnings: )  

A. Try using fresh instead of canned pineapple, or use a fruit besides cherries; strawberries, blackberries and figs are all tasty possibilities.

B. Garnish the top of the cake with crushed pineapple or a pineapple spread.

C. Allow the cake to cool before attempting to remove it from the pan. If you don't, the cake may stick.
