Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 10 oz Crushed pineapple (with juice) for sauce
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and the 20 oz can of crushed pineapple (including the juice). Mix well until fully combined and no dry lumps remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread the mixture in the pan.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the pineapple sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine 10 oz of crushed pineapple (with juice), 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1/4 cup of water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once the cake is done baking, let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Serve slices of the pineapple cake drizzled with the warm pineapple sauce. Enjoy!
