PAN SIZE
We make ours in a 9 X 13 pan so that there is a higher caramelized pineapple and cherry topping to cake ratio.

This recipe can easily be made in two 8-inch round pans. If you want a thicker cake you could use a 9-inch round or square pan and fill that pan 2/3 full of cake batter.

For one round pan, reduce the sugar and butter by half. Even more, if you want a thinner topping. See the tips for success below.
