Equipment

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 can crushed pineapple (with juice) about 20 oz

  • ½ cup shredded coconut optional

Instructions
 

Preparation Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking the cake evenly.
  • Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or baking spray to prevent sticking and help with easy serving.
  • Dump the crushed pineapple along with its juice directly into the greased pan and spread it evenly to create the first juicy layer.
  • Spoon the lemon pie filling evenly on top of the pineapple layer. Do not mix the layers; this layering creates distinct flavors.
  • Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the lemon pie filling layer, covering it completely.
  • Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the dry cake mix. It’s okay if some spots remain dry as they will crisp up during baking.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
  • Let the cake rest for 5–10 minutes to set before serving warm. For an indulgent touch, serve with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Do not mix the layers; allow them to bake and meld into the cake naturally. Store leftover cake covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
