Ingredients
– 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
– 1 box yellow cake mix
– 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)
– 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Equipment Needed
– 9×13 inch baking dish
– Mixing bowl
– Wooden spoon or spatula
– Measuring cups
– Aluminum foil (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and warm by the time you’re ready to bake. Next, grab that 9×13 inch baking dish and spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray. In my experience, this is a crucial step; you want to ensure that every last bit of that delicious cake comes out easily! Pour the undrained crushed pineapple into the dish. I love how the juicy, sweet pineapple starts to spread over the bottom, creating a luscious base for your cake. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
