Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup (79 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) pineapple juice
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and coating a 9×13 inch baking pan with a light layer of grease.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the cake mix with eggs, vegetable oil, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and pineapple juice until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Transfer the prepared batter into the greased baking pan, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, periodically checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake.
- Once the toothpick emerges clean without any raw batter, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
- After cooling, slice and serve the tropical-inspired dessert, savoring the rich blend of pineapple and coconut flavors.
Notes
- Swap standard cake mix with gluten-free or almond flour blend for dietary restrictions.
- Enhance moisture by draining pineapple slightly before mixing to prevent soggy texture.
- Add cream cheese frosting or whipped topping for extra decadence and visual appeal.
- Toast shredded coconut beforehand to intensify nutty flavor and create delightful crunch.
