This seems like it would be a good cake to serve at high tea. Soda? Is that baking soda or a soft drink of some kind? That does seem like a large amount of oil to use in a cake...

I have a confession...

I had a senior moment when making this....After I made it I read the recipe again,..I thought it said a 18 oz can of pineapple....so I put a 20oz can in...not 1-8 oz!! It turned out wonderful anyway...I thought the oil seemed a bit much, but it worked fine, moist and very good!...Its kind of like my Mothers sweet potato pie..the first time she made it she put in 2 tbsp. flour instead of the 2 tsp it called for..it was terrific so I told her not to change it!!!LOL
