Ingredients
  

  • 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple do not drain
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded carrots about 3 medium carrots
  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box spice cake mix I used Duncan Hines
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter cut into thin slices
  • 1/2 cup walnuts finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread the crushed pineapple (with juice) evenly in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle shredded carrots on top.
  • Evenly sprinkle the dry spice cake mix over the pineapple and carrots, covering them completely.
  • Arrange the sliced butter evenly over the cake mix. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
  • About 10 minutes before the bake time is up, check for any large dry patches of cake mix. If needed, place a small piece of butter on top of dry areas.
  • Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm on its own, with vanilla ice cream, or drizzled with cream cheese frosting.

Notes

  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for about 20–30 seconds or in a 300 degrees F oven for about 10 minutes until heated through.
  • To freeze, let the cake cool completely, then wrap the baking dish tightly in plastic wrap and foil or transfer individual servings to airtight containers. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
