Ingredients
Fruit Filling
- 21 ounces canned strawberry pie filling
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (not drained)
Cake Topping
- 15.25 ounce box yellow cake mix
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add Strawberry Pie Filling: Pour the entire 21 ounces of canned strawberry pie filling into the bottom of the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Add Crushed Pineapple: Spoon the 20 ounces of crushed pineapple, including the juice, evenly over the strawberry pie filling layer.
- Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the pineapple layer, spreading it out to form a flat, even layer over the fruit.
- Drizzle Butter: Drizzle the melted 3/4 cup butter evenly over the surface of the cake mix to help it bake into a golden crust.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour, until the edges of the cake are golden brown and the topping is cooked through.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely before serving to let the layers set and flavors meld.
- Store: Cover the cake with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
Notes
- You can use fresh strawberries and pineapple as a substitute for canned if preferred, but cooking times may vary.
- For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cake mix before sprinkling.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
- Make sure the butter is fully melted to ensure even coverage over the cake mix.
- This dessert can be made ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature or warm slightly before serving.
