Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans crushed pineapple (20 oz each, undrained)
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Pour both cans of crushed pineapple with juice into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the pineapple.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top—do not mix.
- Drizzle the melted butter slowly and evenly over the entire surface to coat the cake mix.
- Bake for 40–55 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use melted, not softened butter, to avoid dry patches on top.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the cake topping—not the fruit layer.
- If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temp or 7 days in the fridge.
