Weight Watchers Low-fat pineapple cake

I learned how to make this cake at Weight Watchers. It is so easy to make, takes very little prep time, and no one can ever tell it's low fat! No one can believe how few ingredients are in this recipe, but it turns out very moist! A super delicious treat you won't feel guilty eating. Also check out the variations to this recipe below.

WW Low-fat Pineapple Cake
---------------------------
1 box (2-layer size) yellow cake mix, any brand
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in it's own juice
1 (8oz) cool whip light or fat-free, thawed
maraschino cherries (optional)

In a mixing bowl, hand mix dry cake mix and can of crushed pineapple until blended. Pour into 9x13 pan and bake for about 5 minutes less on whatever temperature is indicated than what the cake mix box instructs for a 9x13 cake. Cool cake completely. When cool, cover top of cake with cool whip and top with a maraschino cherry for each serving if desired. Store in the refrigerator. Makes 12 servings.
* Variations: can also make this cake using 1 box chocolate cake mix and 1 can light cherry pie filling, or any other cake mix/pie filling combo you prefer, or 1 box any flavor cake mix and 1 12oz. can diet soda in place of fruits/pie fillings. It really works, trust me!

I don't know on the new points plus system, but on the old system (flexpoints?) 1/20th of the cake made with light cool whip was 3 points.
