Delicious Duncan Hines Pineapple Cake Recipe
Ingredients
Making a Duncan Hines pineapple cake is surprisingly easy and can be done in a few simple steps. Here are the ingredients you will need:
- Duncan Hines Classic Pineapple Supreme Cake Mix
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of water
- 2 cans of pineapple tidbits (or one large can)
- 1 cup of shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup of maraschino cherries (optional)
If you are feeling adventurous, you can use your favorite yellow cake mix instead of the Duncan Hines. You can also use other types of nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, and you can add other kinds of dried fruits such as raisins or cranberries.
Instructions
The first step is to preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan, and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. Beat for about two minutes on medium speed, until the batter is smooth and creamy.
Next, stir in the pineapple tidbits and shredded coconut. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the chopped pecans and maraschino cherries (if using) on top of the batter.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
