Thanks Dimitri & Nancy2......

Am being over cautious since my first attempt wasn't a smashing success but
tasty. Dimitri: Do you use the entire cake mix? Nancy's comment leads me
to think not since she makes some of the batter into cupcakes?? I'm
thinking 1/4 c. butter to about 2/3 c. brown sugar & maybe making a pound
cake mix using the pineapple can liquid in the mix??
