Time 55m

Yield 1 13X9 inch cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

20 ounces crushed pineapple in syrup
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup margarine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease 13 X 9 baking dish.
  • Spread pineapple with juice evenly in dish.
  • Spread cherry pie filling over pineapple.
  • Sprinkle dry cake mix over cherries, then spread pecans over cake mix.
  • Cut margarine into thin slices and place over pecans.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cake rises properly, preheat the oven before starting the batter.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to achieve a smooth and well-blended batter. This helps the ingredients emulsify properly, resulting in a moist and tender cake.
  • Do not overmix the batter as it can develop gluten, resulting in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until all ingredients are well combined.
  • For a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh and ripe cherries and pineapple. If using canned or frozen fruits, drain and pat them dry before adding to the batter.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the baking pan before pouring in the batter. Alternatively, use parchment paper to line the pan.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake and make it crumbly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This helps the cake to set properly and prevents the frosting from melting or becoming too runny.
