Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup shredded coconut
1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices in juice, drained, 2 tablespoons juice reserved
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ vanilla cake mix
1 cup reduced-fat (lite) coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
1/2 cup olive oil
3 eggs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Place butter in 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish; place in oven until butter is melted.
  • Remove baking dish from oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over melted butter. Sprinkle coconut over brown sugar. Arrange pineapple slices over coconut, pressing lightly to set each one in place.
  • In large bowl, place cake mix, reserved 2 tablespoons pineapple juice, the coconut milk, oil and eggs. Stir vigorously about 2 minutes or until well combined and batter is smooth. Let stand 2 minutes; stir again. Pour batter into pan, spreading evenly.
  • Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Immediately run knife around sides of baking dish to loosen cake. Place cookie sheet upside down over baking dish. Turn cookie sheet and baking dish over; leave baking dish over cake 5 minutes to let brown sugar mixture drizzle down onto cake. Remove baking dish; cool 30 minutes before serving. Store in refrigerator.
