The Easiest Pineapple Bake: A Tropical Delight in Every Bite
🧑🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Heat oven to 350°F / 175°C.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Mix Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Stir in crushed pineapple (and reserved juice) until well incorporated.
3. Bake:
Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Optional: sprinkle shredded coconut or chopped nuts on top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Cool & Serve:
Let cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm, or refrigerate for a chilled tropical treat.
🥄 Tips for Maximum Tropical Flavor:
For extra moisture, stir in a few tablespoons of pineapple juice from the can.
Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
You can also make it in muffin tins for individual pineapple bites — perfect for parties.
If you want, I can also give you a 5-minute “dump and bake” version that requires almost no prep — just mix and pour, then bake. It’s ideal for when you’re craving something sweet in a hurry. Do you want me to share that version?
