Here’s a sweet, tropical treat—a classic Pineapple Bake that’s simple, comforting, and perfect for dessert or brunch. 🍍✨
Pineapple Bake Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 1 can (20 oz / 565 g) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 box (15–16 oz / 425–450 g) yellow or white cake mix
- ½ cup (115 g) butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Optional topping: whipped cream or shredded coconut
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Mix Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine drained pineapple, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.
- Stir in the dry cake mix until well combined (the batter will be thick).
3. Bake
- Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Serve
- Allow to cool slightly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Optional: Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or shredded coconut for extra flair.
Tips
- Extra moist: Don’t drain all the pineapple juice—leave a little to add more moisture.
- Make it richer: Stir in ½ cup of shredded coconut or crushed nuts before baking.
- Presentation: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a light glaze (powdered sugar + pineapple juice).
If you want, I can also give a “dump-and-bake slow cooker version” that’s super easy—just dump all ingredients and let it cook while you focus on other things.
Do you want me to do that?
