Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 ounces crushed pineapple, with juice
  • 20 ounces pineapple tidbits, with juice
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
  • 3/4 cup cold salted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Spread the crushed pineapple, including its juice, followed by the pineapple tidbits and their juice, into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the light brown sugar over the layer of pineapple and juice.
  5. Carefully sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the brown sugar layer, ensuring it covers evenly.
  6. Slice the cold butter into very thin pats and place them across the entire surface of the cake.
  7. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
  8. Allow the cake to rest for 15-20 minutes before serving for the best texture.

Notes

For added richness, you can sprinkle some crushed nuts on top before baking. Store uneaten cake covered in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months. Try adding shredded coconut or chopped pecans for flavor variations.
