Ingredients

  • 2 cans crushed pineapple 20 ounce, undrained
  • 1 box yellow cake mix 15.25 ounce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Pour the contents of both cans of crushed pineapple (including their juices) into the prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the crushed pineapple layer.
  • Sprinkle the dry cake mix powder over the brown sugar layer.
  • Slowly pour the melted butter over the cake mix, making sure to cover all areas with the butter.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 40 - 55 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the top and edges are golden.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to set before serving.
  • Serve with your favorite vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Notes

  • As all ovens differ, check the cake after 40 minutes. If the cake top appears runny, bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
  • You may want to cover the dish with aluminum foil halfway through the baking time if the top is getting too brown, but the cake is still not done.
  • To test for doneness, insert a toothpick only into the top cake portion (not into the fruit layer). The cake is done if the toothpick comes away with only a few crumbs.
