"The Better than Sex Cake"

            (or at least a close 2nd)

         My Aunt Donna's version...

                

(To the young children in our family, we refer to it as 

"the better than anything cake."  As for us grown folks,

we call it by it's real and proper name).

1 (18.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix, plus ingredients to prepare
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple                                                                                                  
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 (3.4-ounce) box French vanilla pudding, plus ingredients to prepare                                      
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
