For a richer flavor, use a golden butter cake mix instead of yellow cake mix.
Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet before chopping for enhanced flavor and aroma.
If you don't have a 9x13 inch pan, you can use two 8-inch round pans. Adjust the baking time accordingly.
Feel free to add other toppings such as shredded coconut, maraschino cherries, or chocolate shavings.
To ensure even distribution of the pineapple, pat it dry with paper towels after draining.
