Notes
- This cake is delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream.
- Don't stir the cake mix into the fruit—just sprinkle it evenly over the top. Break up any large clumps of cake mix before sprinkling.
- Make sure your butter slices are very thin and evenly distributed.
- Do not drain the crushed pineapple or pineapple chunks. The juice helps create a moist and tender cake.
- Yellow cake is traditional, but you can use white cake or butter cake if that is what you have.
