Pineapple Coconut Dessert

[kroshia]

If a recipe calls for 1 box cake mix, then says to spread cake mixture evenly over coconut and pour butter over cake mixture Does that mean I should prepare cake mix according to box directions then spread or just sprinkle the dry cake mix over coconut? Thanks, Lonalee

PINEAPPLE-COCONUT DESSERT
1 #2 can crushed pineapple
1 c. shredded coconut
1 box white or yellow cake mix
1/4 lb. butter, melted
Place the pineapple in a buttered 9-inch cake pan. Sprinkle coconut over pineapple. Spread cake mixture evenly over coconut and pour butter over cake mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with whipped cream after cooling dessert.

The directions call for the cake mixture (or batter) to be spread over the coconut. This would be like an pineapple upside down cake with coconut.

I make a cake something like the one you have here. What I would do, is put the pineapple on the bottom of the dish, next the coconut, then the DRY cake mix sprinkled over the layers then drizzle the melted butter all over the dry mix as evenly as possible and bake. It should be delish.
