  • 1 box white cake mix dry
  • 12 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 cup chopped nuts pecans, walnuts
  • Whipped cream or Cool Whip

  • Spray a round cake pan with non-stick spray

  • Let the cake cool in the pan.

Notes

  1. Don't drain the pineapple! You need the liquid to help moisten the cake mix as it bakes.
  2. Spread the dry cake mix evenly. Sprinkle it right over the fruit, but don’t press it down or stir it.
  3. Cover the whole surface with butter. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix so there are no dry spots. This helps the top turn golden and crisp.
