Drain pineapple, reserving 3/4 cup juice. Remove 1/4 c. reserved juice for Cream Cheese Frosting, and reserve the crushed pineapple for Pineapple Filling.

Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy: gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until blended after each addition.

Combine 1/2 c. reserved pineapple juice and soft drink. Add flour to butter mixture alternately with juice mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Beat at low speed until blended after each addition. Stir in flavorings. Pour into prepared cake pans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pans immediately: cool on wire racks.
