Ingredients

Scale

1 box yellow cake mix
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple with juice
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Spread cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the pan.
Spoon the crushed pineapple—with juice—over the cherry layer.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly across the top. Do not mix.
Drizzle melted butter over the entire surface of the cake mix.
Optional: Sprinkle with coconut flakes and chopped pecans or walnuts.
Bake uncovered for 1 hour or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a generous swirl of Cool Whip. The combo of hot cake and cold cream? Simply irresistible.
