Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained

1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan for easy removal of the cake later on.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, pour the undrained crushed pineapple and add the yellow cake mix. Do not add any other ingredients mentioned on the cake mix box.

      Mix Together: Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently fold the pineapple into the cake mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

        Pour into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

          Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

            Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

              Serve: You can enjoy the cake as is, or add a light dusting of powdered sugar, or serve it with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra treat.
