Ingredients
- 20 oz Canned crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 15 oz Canned pineapple chunks (drained)
- 15.25 oz Yellow cake mix
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the entire can of crushed pineapple with its juice into the bottom of the baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Evenly distribute the drained pineapple chunks over the crushed pineapple layer.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pineapple layers, ensuring it covers the fruit completely.
Slice the butter into thin, even pats and place them over the entire surface of the dry cake mix. Make sure the butter pieces are well distributed for even baking.
Optional: Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped pecans evenly across the top for added flavor and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
