Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix with the undrained crushed pineapple, eggs, and vegetable oil. If you’re adding coconut or nuts, sprinkle those in now as well. Mix everything together until just combined; it’s okay if there are some small lumps. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch pan and spread it evenly across the bottom. The anticipation is already building! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
