Ingredients
2 cans (20 oz each) crushed pineapple in juice
1 box (13.25 oz) yellow cake mix
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly.
Pour both cans of crushed pineapple, including all the juice, into the baking dish.
Spread the pineapple into an even layer using a spatula.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the pineapple surface.
Distribute the dark brown sugar over the top of the cake mix layer.
Drizzle the melted butter carefully over the entire surface, ensuring all dry spots are moistened.
Bake for 60 minutes until the fruit layer bubbles and the top turns golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Always keep the pineapple juice in the cans to provide essential moisture for the dry cake mix. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
