Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 oz crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 15 oz mango chunks (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
Spread the crushed pineapple with its juice evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Add the mango chunks on top of the pineapple layer, spreading them evenly.
Sprinkle the sweetened shredded coconut evenly over the fruit to create the next layer.
Evenly distribute the yellow cake mix (dry, unprepared) over the coconut layer, covering the entire surface.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix, making sure to cover as much of the surface as possible.
Sprinkle the chopped macadamia nuts and brown sugar evenly over the buttered cake mix for added crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
