MILLIONAIRE'S CAKE



Millionaire's Cake image

As simple as this dessert is to make, it's amazing how delicious it is. It has a tropical touch, and everyone seems to love it. The recipe was created years ago, before manufacturers began to economize and downsize boxed foods, with cake mixes going from 18.5-oz boxes to 15.25-oz boxes now. And the instructions were use only...
