Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.

** How to Cut Fresh Pineapple for Use in Recipe: Peel and core pineapple, then cut crosswise into 4 pieces. Cut 1 piece into 3 rings to use for garnish. Chop enough of the remaining pineapple pieces to measure 1 1/2 cups. Refrigerate remaining pineapple for snacking or another use.

Substitute chopped mangos for the chopped pineapple. Omit pineapple wedges. Garnish cake with sliced mangos.
