Pineapple Pound Cake

 
Another great dessert and yummy tasting cake.  When making this cake I discovered I didn't have a tube pan.  I know I owned one, but sure couldn't find it.  So that has gone on my list of things to buy, oh fun a new toy. :)  This recipe called for a tube pan, but as I said "no can find" so I used my bundt pan and it turned out fine.  I make this cake for our weekly game and served the BLT Puff Pastry.  Another BIG YUM.
