Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans (20 oz/567 g) crushed pineapple
- 1 box white cake mix
- 8 ounces (226 g) cream cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 stick (½ cup/113 g) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (60 g) chopped pecans or walnuts
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkle of shredded coconut
Instructions
- Grab a 9×13-inch baking dish and set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour two 20-ounce cans of crushed pineapple with their juice directly into the pan, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
- Enhance the pineapple with ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring gently to combine the flavors.
- Open a box of white cake mix and sprinkle the entire contents uniformly over the pineapple layer. Resist the urge to mix or stir the ingredients.
- Melt 1 stick (½ cup) of unsalted butter and drizzle it carefully across the entire surface of the dry cake mix.
- Cut 8 ounces of cream cheese into small cubes and distribute them randomly over the butter-covered cake mix.
- Scatter ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts across the top for added crunch and texture.
- Optional: Dust the surface with a light sprinkle of shredded coconut for extra flavor.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color and bubbling edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
Notes
- Drain pineapple slightly to prevent excess liquid, which can make the cake too soggy.
- For extra texture, toast chopped pecans or coconut and sprinkle over the cake mix before baking.
- Experiment with different cake mix flavors like yellow, white, or even spice cake to customize the dessert.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic cobbler-style finish.
