Ingredients
- 1 box (approximately 15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 21 oz (1 can) cherry pie filling
- 20 oz (1 can) crushed pineapple in juice
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 as needed for greasing cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
Layer the crushed pineapple (with its juice) over the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly.
Step 4
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the pineapple layer. Make sure to cover the entire surface.
Step 5
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix. Ensure the entire surface is covered so the cake browns evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the butter-coated cake mix. For added texture and sweetness, sprinkle shredded coconut if desired.
Step 7
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
