Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, and water, then mix well until the batter is smooth. Once mixed, gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Pour this delicious mixture into your greased 9×13 inch baking pan, and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I was in pure bliss as that sweet aroma filled my kitchen! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
