That sounds good with the Pineapple cake mix....and the Mango nectar would be good with that.Let us know how it turns out and which kind of nectar you use.

It looks and smells really good... I used Pineapple Nectar and also took a small can of crushed pineapple (about 1/2 cup), drained it well, and added it to the glaze!  then dusted the top with confectioners sugar... It looks like a cake you'd get in one of those Diner Carousels! Won't know how it tastes til tonight!
