Main Ingredients

  • 1 can Canned pineapple (crushed, tidbits, or chunks) Use with juice for a saucy bottom layer.
  • 1 box Boxed yellow cake mix Butter cake mix can be used for a richer taste.
  • 1/2 cup Butter (melted or sliced thin) Drizzle melted butter evenly over the cake mix.

Optional Extras

  • 2-3 tablespoons Brown sugar Optional for a deeper flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Shredded coconut For a coconut twist on the classic.
  • 1/2 cup Chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) Adds a nutty crunch.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9 by 13 baking dish.
  • Pour in the canned pineapple with juice and spread it evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the pineapple without mixing it in.
  • Drizzle melted butter evenly over the top or lay thin slices of butter close together.

Baking

  • Bake for about 45 to 55 minutes, until the top is deeply golden and bubbling around the edges.
  • Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before scooping.

Serving

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Notes

Do not stir the layers before baking to retain the cake mix's topping texture. Store leftovers covered to maintain crispness.
