Ingredients

20 oz can crushed pineapple undrained
21 oz can Cherry Pie filling
21.5 oz box Classic Yellow Cake Mix
2 sticks unsalted butter shredded or cut into pieces
1 cup pecan pieces
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 13x9 pan.
Pour the crushed pineapple and Cherry pie filling in the pan and spread over the pan. Pour Cake mix all over the pan, covering the pineapple and Cherry pie filling.
Add butter over the cake mix, making sure the entire pan is covered. Add the pecan pieces over the cake mix.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, until the cake is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Don't drain the pineapple, the juices in the can help to keep the cake nice and moist.
For best results, use a grater to shred the butter when it's cold. You can use a knife to cut it into small pieces if you don't have a grater.
Make sure that each layer of the cake is fully covered for an even texture.
Bake the cake in a fully preheated oven for the best results.
