LOOKING for: Hawaiin Fruit Cake

My friend sent me a recipe for this cake and said all the ingredients are mixed right in the pan. I guess it would be kind of like what some people call a "dump" cake. It called for cream cheese frosting, but then it didn't say whether to let the cake cool completely or not. It was still kind of warm when I put the frosting on, so I stuck it in the fridge so the frosting wouldn't melt. Has anyone ever heard of this cake? Any recipes?
Thanks,

| Might it also be called a 'Butterfly' cake? One of our secretary's in Florida would make it- I can remember pineapple, cherries, nuts, a light brown cake- I don't think it was spice, but that was several years ago! |

The recipe I used didn't call for cherries, but I thought next time I would put some in. I think it would add more flavor to it. Thanks for the reply. Also, the cake isn't call "hawaiin" fruit cake, it's "Mexican Fruit Cake". LOL!
Thanks for the reply.
