Pineapple Nut Pound Cake

I found this recipe on the box of cake mix years ago. It was one of those recipes that you are always finding on a slip of paper, or you find that coconut wrapper with a recipe on it? come on, you do it too! This is really good! something about coconut and pineapple! i used a yellow cake, but you could easily go with a white cake; you may have to use a little lemon extract.
