The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Dump cakes are made by topping a fruit filling with dry cake mix then baking. This version uses strawberry pie filling combined with crushed pineapple. The cake-mix topping creates a cobbler-like crust on top.
1 can (15 ounce size) crushed pineapple
1 can (15 ounce size) strawberry pie filling
1 package (18.25 ounce size) yellow cake mix (do not use Jiffy or other smaller size mix)
1 cup butter
1 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2; pan or baking dish.
Empty the can of pineapple, including juice, into the greased pan. Pour the strawberry pie filling over the pineapple, spread evenly.
Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the pie filling to completely cover. Slice butter into pats and layer on top of cake mix in pan. Cover with layer of nuts.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until brown. Cool cake completely in the pan.
Scoop out a serving and serve with vanilla ice cream, or allow to completely cool before indulging.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I need an easy cake for a day with the girlfriends, when we get together for the afternoon to play Chicken Foot. This is IT!
It looks like a great recipe the only problem is that I don't see pineapple listed in the ingredients but its in the instructions. So my question is what size can and what type (ie. tidbit rings or crushed) of canned pineapple do I need?
Similar recipes I found call for 15 oz crushed pineapple so I'd try that.
