Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a more tropical twist, consider adding shredded coconut or chopped nuts to the cake mix before baking. If you don’t have yellow cake mix, a vanilla or white cake mix works well as a substitute. Also, ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the dish.
Serving Suggestions
Pineapple Supreme is delightful on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside savory dishes like grilled chicken or pork. It makes a great dessert option for summer barbecues or potlucks.
